LEADING OFF: Ohtani HR streak, icy Target Field, Yanks hurt

A look at what's happening all around baseball today:___

WELCOME TO THE SHO

Shohei Ohtani isn't scheduled to be in the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Angels, a day after the two-way sensation from Japan hit a home run for the third straight game. He is set to make his second major league start on Sunday vs. the Athletics — he pitched against them last weekend and earned the win.

Ohtani homered at home Friday night against Oakland, launching a shot estimated at 449 feet. The 23-year-old connected his first time up, batting eighth as the designated hitter.

BUNDLE UP

In a season already full of frigid weather, the gametime temperature at Target Field was supposed to be around 26 degrees when Minnesota hosted Seattle.
