Angels Upend Twins, 8-5
Starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani pitched well enough to help the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins, 8-5. Chris Rodriguez, credited with the win, is now 5-1. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits. Carlos Estevez notched his 30th save in 37 chances.

Los Angeles used the timely hitting of Hunter Renfroe to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Angels on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Ohtani. "Successful pitchers do it."

The victory gives Los Angeles a record of 94-74.
