The game turned in one devastating inning. Los Angeles scored six runs in the sixth to break open what had been a 1-0 pitcher's duel, then added nine more runs over the final three innings to demolish the Angels 15-2 at Angel Stadium.
Shohei Ohtani carried the offensive explosion, going 2-for-4 with five RBIs. He tripled in the eighth inning to score two runs and came home on an error, then capped his night with a three-run double in the ninth. Mookie Betts added a solo homer in the eighth and finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
The sixth inning unraveled quickly for Los Angeles Angels starter Jose Soriano. Pagés walked to force in a run, then Muncy walked to bring home another. T. Hernández was hit by a pitch to score a third run before Kall singled to left to drive in two more, completing the six-run frame that put the game away.
Justin Wrobleski earned the victory with six innings of two-run ball, allowing seven hits while striking out five. Soriano took the loss, surrendering six runs on just one hit over 5.1 innings, walking six batters in a control-challenged outing.
Los Angeles extended its winning streak to three games and improved to 27-18. The Angels fell to 16-29, extending their losing streak to four games. Betts sits five home runs away from 300 for his career.
