Boston Red Sox infielder Yu Chang entered Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angele 0-for-28 but did something no player has done ever.
Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani gestures safe after advancing to second against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, Saturday, April 15, 2023, in Boston.
With his performance, Opta Stats noted that Chang made history. He is the only MLB player since RBI became an official stat in 1920 to have a four-RBI game after entering a matchup 0-for-15 or worse with zero RBI on the season.Chang said it was a relief to get the first hit. He is now 2-for-20 on the season.
"I'm so happy that the team gave me that consistent opportunity to play every day even though I didn't hit well in the beginning," he said through a translator."What the coaches expressed to me is: they don't want me to think about the past. They want me to do the same routine and have the same consistency and grab any opportunity you have coming."
