On a night in which Shohei Ohtani enhanced the legendary status of his debut year in his first at-bat of the game and starting pitcher Felix Peña hurled seven quality innings, it was pinch hitter Jose Briceño’s leadoff heroics that snapped the Angels’ five-game losing streak and gave the Angels their second walk-off victory of the season.
He launched Rangers reliever Matt Moore’s third pitch of the 11th inning over the center field wall for a game-winning homer on Monday night at Angel Stadium in a 5-4 victory. Baby powder was thrown at him at home plate. A bucket of ice was dumped over his head during his post-game interview with Fox Sports West.
