Ohtani And Angels Stop Marlins

     The Los Angeles Angels handled the Miami Marlins 5-2 at loanDepot park on Wednesday night. The loss snapped the Marlins six-game winning streak. 
     2021 American League Most Valuable Player and Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani pitched seven innings, struck out 10 batters and surrendered one run on two hits. Los Angeles was able to halt a four-game losing streak. 
     Miami(39-41) scooted out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Garrett Cooper hit a sacrifice fly into left field to score Jon Berti. 
     Los Angeles(38-45) got the lead 3-1 in the top of the fifth. Mike Trout was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Max Stassi scored. Ohtani followed with a base hit through the left side for former Marlin players Monte Harrison and Jonathan Villar to cross the plate.
     The Angels added two more runs in the seventh inning for a 5-1 lead. Taylor Ward drove in Villar on a single into left field. Ohtani would later score on a base hit by Luis Rengifo to center field. 
     The Marlins picked up one run in the bottom of the ninth. Jesus Sanchez grounded out to first and Jesus Aguilar reached home.
