Here comes Shohei Ohtani.
The Red Sox face off with the Angels' starter Tuesday night, supplying really no surprises in their lineup. Christian Vazquez will catch Sox starter David Price, with Brock Holt hitting ninth and playing shortstop.
As for the approach, that isn't really an mystery either, with Sox manager Alex Cora explaining the strategy on MLB Network Radio earlier in the day.
Alex Cora has been impressed by tonight's opposing pitcher Shohei Ohtani, compares him to "Hideo Nomo in his prime."#RedSox #DIRTYWATER #Angels #THEHALOWAY pic.twitter.com/TYv4PBAZrB
