ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani hit his major league-leading 33rd homer to key a tying rally in the ninth inning, and rookie Trey Cabbage scored on rookie Grae Kessinger's throwing error in the 10th to give the Los Angeles Angels a wild 13-12 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.
The Astros' rookie shortstop threw wide of first base while attempting to turn an easy inning-ending double play on Taylor Ward's grounder.
Cabbage scored from third in only his second major league game to set off a wild celebration for the Angels, who rallied from a six-run deficit in the seventh and a three-run deficit in the ninth.
The Angels can only hope their next win is a little bit less grueling than this victory, which snapped their six-game losing streak. «To say that win was needed is an understatement,» Angels manager Phil Nevin said.
