Shohei Ohtani continued his home run onslaught, helping lead the Los Angeles Angels to an 8-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night in Anaheim, California.
Ohtani, who announced on Friday he would participate in the Home Run Derby during baseball's All-Star festivities next month, has hit five home runs in his past five games, increasing his season total to 22, one behind Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the major league lead.
Jared Walsh also homered for Los Angeles, his 17th of the season. Walsh also had one of the Angels' six doubles in the game. David Fletcher had a double among his three hits, while also successfully executing a safety squeeze.
