Once again, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani crushed the Detroit Tigers.
But before it was too late, Kerry Carpenter and Ryan Kreidler did the same to the Los Angeles Angels in the ninth inning of Wednesday's series finale at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. They pummeled solo home runs on fastballs from left-hander Jose Quijada.
Kreidler's first MLB homer provided the winning run.
The Tigers won, 5-4, to snap a four-game losing streak and avoid a Southern California sweep. Left-handed closer Gregory Soto pitched a scoreless ninth, including strikeouts of Trout and Ohtani, and recorded his 25th save.
