ANAHEIM -- Shohei Ohtani (Showtime) homered to snap Justin Verlander's (JV) scoreless streak at Angel Stadium, but it wasn't enough to snap another.
Verlander extended his winning streak against the Angels to six games by firing six strong innings as the Astros rolled to an 8-3 victory on Saturday night.
Verlander entered this Players' Weekend start having thrown 23 consecutive scoreless innings over his previous three starts at Angel Stadium, and he once again imposed his dominance at the outset, blanking the Angels through the first three innings.
