The Los Angeles Angels continue to be led by Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. The dynamic duo once again demonstrated why they are one of the most feared one-two punches in MLB history.
The two and three positions in the batting order came to the plate during the Colorado Rockies game when the score was still knotted at 2-2. Ohtani and Trout, as they frequently do for the Angels, came through when the offense needed a boost, blasting back-to-back home runs to give the Angels a 4-2 advantage.
And the Mike Trout-Shohei Ohtani team keeps making history in this way. This was the ninth time they had consecutive home runs, which is tied for the most in Angels franchise history, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Trout and Albert Pujols were a formidable pair in this regard before this.
Trout and Ohtani have been a fantastic team, but the fact that they haven’t yet had much success will hurt Angels supporters. In reality, their 7-4 loss to the Rockies in that game served as a microcosm of their experience in this baseball age. Even though their finest players have consistently been among the best in the entire sport, their teams have not had much success.
But the Angels have remained in the playoff picture so far this season. They are currently in the thick of the AL Wild Card chase with a 41-36 record. Expect Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani to keep pushing for a playoff spot as long as they keep tearing the baseball’s cover off.
