ANAHEIM -- Ian Kinsler and Justin Upton homered to power the Angels to a 4-3 win over the Royals on Wednesday night at Angel Stadium, completing a three-game sweep and ameliorating some of the sting of a truncated start from Shohei Ohtani, who was forced to depart after four innings because of blister on his right middle finger.
Kinsler launched a two-run home run to left field off Royals reliever Scott Barlow to snap a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning, and Upton added a solo shot off Barlow in the seventh to extend the Angels' winning streak to four games.
