ANAHEIM -- Shohei Ohtani rotated, toe-tapped, then launched another sweeping home run to center field, capping a strong offensive night for the Angels in their 7-4 win in Thursday's series opener against the Twins at Angel Stadium.
Ohtani's homer, which left the bat at 108.7 mph and traveled an estimated 414 feet per Statcast™, was his fifth of the season. He also had an RBI double in the third, as he has hit safely in 14 of his 16 starts at designated hitter.
The win, also backed by home runs from Ian Kinsler and Justin Upton, put the Halos in a tie for first with the Astros in the American League West.
