Rookie right-hander Chase Silseth remained unbeaten over his last four starts while Shohei Ohtani clubbed his American League-leading 41st home run as the Los Angeles Angels salvaged the finale of this three-game road series with a 2-1 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday.
Ohtani ended an eight-game homerless drought by drilling a 1-0 slider from Astros left-hander Parker Mushinski 448 feet to straightaway center field with two outs in the sixth inning, doubling the Angels' lead to 2-0. Mushinski inherited a baserunner when he entered in relief of Astros starter Jose Urquidy and quickly induced a double-play grounder before Ohtani struck.
Kyle Tucker and Jon Singleton reached against Silseth in the fourth but the Astros failed to convert those baserunners. When Yordan Alvarez grounded into a forceout with Altuve and Bregman on base to close the fifth, the Astros fell to 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position against Silseth.
