Shohei Smash and Heavenly Luck Give Angels 4-2 Win Over Astros.

Shohei Ohtani was merely a generational talent when he arrived from Japan as a thin-framed, future Babe Ruth.

Three years later, he’s become one of the biggest, strongest, and fastest athletes in all baseball. He’s become a monster.

His second home run of the series saved the Angels from the sweep, with the help of a little...well...help.

With the bases loaded and two out in the fifth, Astros starter Lance McCullers appeared to have gotten out of the jam unharmed when David Fletcher hit a weak grounder to first base. Unfortunately, it was literally to first base.
