ANAHEIM, CA (WKZO-AM/FM) – One day after his third pitching win of the season, and on the same day he was announced as the first participant in this year’s Home Run Derby, two-way star Shohei Ohtani smacked his 20th and 21st home runs of the season to help lift the Angels to an 11-3 win over the Tigers in Anaheim.
Detroit starter José Ureña gave up three homers in the fifth inning, and 7 runs total over 4-1/3 innings of work, in taking the loss.
In tonight’s pitching matchup, Wily Peralta will make his first Major League start in four year as he steps into Matthew Boyd’s spot in the rotation. Patrick Sandoval will counter for the Halos.
