Shohei Ohtani and the Angels fresh off a two-game sweep in the Freeway Series on Monday and Tuesday headed out for an important 11-game road trip in Tampa Bay. In game one against wild-card leading Tampa Bay the Angels started quickly thanks to Shohei Ohtani, who for the third time in five games hit a home run, a three-run shot to left-center that gave the Angels a 3-0 lead in the first inning.
Albert Pujols extended the Angels lead to 5-0 with a two-run jack in the 5th inning that was Pujols’ 200th HR in an Angel uniform.
