Ohtani’s pinch-hit homer lifts Angels over Dodgers

Shohei Ohtani's pinch-hit home run in the seventh inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-3 victory over the LA Dodgers at Angels Stadium on Sunday. The Japanese two-way star, sidelined from pitching duties because of a sprained right elbow ligament, hit for Jefry Marte with the score knotted at 3-3 in the seventh and crushed a 96 mph (154 Km/h) fastball from Dodgers relief pitcher JT Chargois over the center field fence. It was Ohtani's seventh home run of the season and first since May 17.
