Angels' Ohtani homers in 3 straight at-bats against Blue Jays, Tigers

The Detroit News

Toronto – Shohei Ohtani hit his major league-leading 39th home run – for a streak of three homers in three at-bats over two games – before being sidelined due to cramping for a second consecutive game.

Ohtani was replaced by pinch-hitter Michael Stefanic when his at-bat came up with the bases loaded in the ninth inning due to leg cramps. The Blue Jays beat the Angels 4-1 Friday.

Los Angeles manager Phil Nevin said Ohtani was removed because of cramping in both of his calves.
