There wasn’t much for the Angels (9-10) to cheer about in Saturday’s 16-2 blowout loss to the Astros (10-10). The Halos lost their season-high fourth-straight game and fell under .500 for the first time in 2021. If there was anything to smile for, it came in the form of two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani scored the Angels’ second run of the game on a towering 413-foot blast to center field with a 108.3 MPH exit velocity. The ball went over the yellow line, but hit the brick wall and bounced back into play.
