ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani scored the go-ahead run in the sixth inning and the Los Angeles Angels snapped a six-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros. Ohtani tried to score the winning run during Wednesday night’s 9-5 loss to Houston in 12 innings, but was called out after a perfect throw from right fielder Chas McCormick. This time, the two-way star was easily safe on Jack Mayfield’s two-run double as the Angels avoided their first four-game sweep against the Astros since 2013 and kept Houston’s magic number at three for clinching the AL West.
