Shohei Ohtani hit his 43rd Home Run Rangers vs Angles

ANAHEIM -- After throwing a career-high 117 pitches over seven strong innings and reaching as high as 100 mph on the radar gun in a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Friday, Angels manager Joe Maddon wouldn’t have blamed two-way star Shohei Ohtani for asking for a day off on Saturday. But Ohtani asked to be in the lineup and again proved he’s not dealing with any late-season fatigue, as he crushed a three-run homer in the sixth inning to put the Angels up 4-0. Ohtani leads the Majors with 43 blasts, three ahead of Kansas City’s Salvador Perez. No Angels player has ever led the Majors in homers in a season, and the club record is 47 homers by Troy Glaus in 2000. #Shohei_Ohtani #Angels #MVP
