Seventy-nine minutes after throwing a one-hit complete-game shutout in Game 1, Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani blasted his MLB-leading 37th home run off right-hander Matt Manning in Game 2.
Less than an hour later, Ohtani launched his 38th home run of the season for the 16th multi-homer game of his career.
The Detroit Tigers lost both games to the surging Angels in Thursday's doubleheader, falling 11-4 in Game 2. The Tigers (46-57) were swept in three games at Comerica Park and dropped to 7½ games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins in the American League Central Division.
