Shohei Ohtani homers, will start Thursday

Shohei Ohtani hit one of three Angels home runs on Tuesday night, giving them a second straight victory, 11-5 over the Rangers, and matching the club’s longest winning streak since the first week of the season.

That the Angels haven’t won more than two in a row since April 3-5 says a lot about how bad this year has gone, especially since even with the two straight victories only improved them to 21-27.

Justin Upton led off the game with a home run off Hyeon-jong Yang, the second straight game Upton had two hits while batting first.
