Ohtani’s first grand slam in the United States or Japan is also the 99th homer of his major league career. Mike Trout and Jared Walsh also hit homers in an 11-3 win.
ANAHEIM — Shohei Ohtani had been gradually warming up for more than a week, and he officially exploded on Monday night.
Ohtani is now approaching his own milestone, with 99 homers in the majors. He had been making slow progress toward the century mark this season, well behind the homer pace he set in hitting 46 last season. Ohtani hit just four homers in the Angels’ first 30 games. An inning later, the Angels had loaded the bases and scored a run – on a bases-loaded walk to Trout – to bring Ohtani to the plate.
It was the first homer of the season against a lefty for Walsh, who has gradually improved his performance against lefties. Walsh, who hit .170 against lefties last season, is now up to .308 in the small sample of 26 at-bats this year.Syndergaard came up with big pitches just when he needed them to continually escape trouble.
