After nearly two weeks off the mound due to a sprained ankle, Shohei Ohtani was a bit surprised about how he felt.

He was less surprised by how he pitched.

"I had no worries about my command. I felt like today I had one of my better commands," Ohtani said through a translator.

The two-way Japanese star took a shutout into the seventh inning while out pitching Felix Hernandez and got help from Mike Trout's 12th home run in the Angels' 8-2 win over the Mariners on Sunday.
