Angels star Shohei Ohtani belted the longest home run of his MLB career, becoming the ninth player to reach 30 homers in a season by July 1.
The others are Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Luis Gonzalez and Albert Pujols. Bonds had 39 by July 1 in 2001 en route to setting the single-season record with 73.
Shohei Othani belts a 493-foot homer, the longest of his MLB career, in the sixth inning of the Angels’ 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.Ohtani hit 15 home runs in June. Besides being an Angels record for the most in any month, he tied Babe Ruth , Bob Johnson and Roger Maris for the AL mark in June.“Falling behind 1-0 to a guy like that, I tried to get back in the zone. Throwing a slider over the middle of the plate is not in the game plan,” Henry said after improving his record to 5-1.
“I was patient,” Gurriel said through an interpreter. “I didn’t see enough quality pitches before the at-bat, so I just waited for my pitch.”
