HOUSTON—Shohei Ohtani hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the eighth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels edged the Houston Astros 2–1 on Sunday, June 4, to avoid a four-game series sweep.
Ohtani was hitless before clubbing a pitch from Phil Maton (0–1) off the wall in right field, driving in Gio Urshela for a 2–1 lead. The clutch swing gave Ohtani 41 RBIs on the season.
