On Thursday night, Ohtani was on the mound for the Angeles, and not only did he dominate the Tigers lineup but he helped himself out by blasting a home run.

Following the game, Ohtani was asked about Morris’ comments and his suspension and he said he was not offended.

“I did see the footage and I heard it. Personally, I’m not offended and I didn’t take anything personally. … He is a Hall of Famer. He has a big influence in the baseball world. It’s kind of a tough spot.”
