Maybe Shohei Ohtani was just a bit tired, when the two-way star took his last big swing for the Angels and matched the MLB lead with his 22nd homer.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Maybe Shohei Ohtani was just a bit tired, as manager Phil Nevin joked, when the two-way star took his last big swing for the Los Angeles Angels and matched the MLB lead with his 22nd homer — and fourth in their series-clinching victory over AL West-leading Texas.
Shohei Ohtani belts his 22nd homer, a two-run shot, to tie for the major league lead in the Angels’ 5-3 win over the Rangers.The left-handed hitter also went into the upper deck to the left of center in the series opener Monday and again Wednesday — those going 459 and 453 feet. His second homer in Monday’s game, a 388-foot drive that just cleared the left-field wall, came on the first pitch of the 12th inning.
After Angels closer Carlos Estevez walked the bases loaded to start the ninth, Jacob Webb got his first save, working around a bases-loaded walk before striking out slugger Adolis Garcia to end it. When Semien went out on the field for the eighth, he stopped and appeared to be having a calm discussion with De Jesus before getting ejected.
In the series opener Monday, De Jesus ejected Angels infielder Brandon Drury after he got into the umpire’s face to argue a called third strike. Gio Urshela grounded into an inning-ending double play after the Angels loaded the bases in the first.
