Ohtani blasts a 440-foot, two-run homer among his three hits but gives up three runs in five innings, walking five. Mickey Moniak snaps a tie with a two-run homer in the sixth in a 5-4 win.
ANAHEIM — The Angels were able to overcome a sloppy start by Shohei Ohtani with the help of a late Mickey Moniak home run, quality relief work and strong defense.Ohtani put the Angels on the board with a two-run homer in the third, one of his three hits, and Moniak finished their scoring with a tie-breaking two-run homer in the sixth inning of a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
The victory included an injury to flame-throwing rookie right-hander Ben Joyce, who left with right hand irritation after throwing just eight pitches in the sixth. Jacob Webb took over for Joyce and worked two scoreless innings. Rookie Sam Bachman then got through a scoreless eighth, with the help of shortstop Zach Neto. Neto fielded a grounder going toward the hole and then alertly threw to third base to get Kelenic, ending the inning.
Although the Angels picked up the victory, it was too late for Ohtani, who lasted just five innings and gave up three runs, with five walks.
