ARLINGTON, Texas | Ohtani RBI and pickoff in Angels' 7-2 win for sweep at Texas

ARLINGTON, Texas |  April 11, 2018 (AP)(STL.News) Shohei Ohtani had an RBI single that put the Los Angeles Angels ahead to stay and was later picked off first base by one of his former Japanese teammates in a 7-2 victory Wednesday night over the Texas Rangers.

Ohtani was in the lineup for the first time since homering in each of his three starts as designated hitter last week. The 23-year-old rookie two-way sensation put the Angels up 1-0 in the second with his opposite-field single and finished 1 for 3 with a walk.

The Rangers were swept in the three-game series, became the first team in the majors with 10 losses and now could be without their shortstop and No. 3 hitter. Elvis Andrus came out of the game after being hit by a pitch on his right arm in the ninth inning. Andrus was clearly in pain when he dropped to the ground.

Kole Calhoun had three hits, including a two-run single, and scored twice as the Angels improved to 10-3 for the first time since 1982. They are alone atop the AL West after defending World Series champion Houston lost 9-8 earlier Wednesday in Minnesota.

Jaime Barria (1-0) allowed one hit, a home run, over five innings to win his major league debut. The 21-year-old right-hander struck out three, walked three and hit a batter.

Matt Moore (0-3) gave up three runs while allowing seven hits and three walks in five innings as the Rangers lost their fourth straight game.

After Ohtani drew a leadoff walk in the eighth, Chris Martin came on as the fourth Texas pitcher. The two played together with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters the last two seasons.

Ohtani was called out on an attempted pickoff by Martin, but umpire Bill Miller’s call was overturned on a replay challenge. Martin then got Ohtani out on another move to first.

It was Ohtani’s first DH start since pitching seven scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts against Oakland on Sunday to improve to 2-0 on the mound. He grounded out as a pinch-hitter Tuesday.

In six games with an at-bat, Ohtani is hitting .364 with three homers and eight RBIs. He also took a called third strike Wednesday and was retired leading off the sixth when reliever Matt Bush snagged a comeback liner.

Ryan Rua led off the Texas third with his first homer.

Rene Rivera immediately followed Ohtani in the second with another RBI single. Jefry Marte and Zack Cozart both had run-scoring triples.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Angels: RHP Matt Shoemaker will continue to undergo treatment without throwing after tests this week showed no new findings of nerve irritation. Shoemaker felt discomfort in his forearm in first start of the season March 31. Shoemaker missed half of last season because of a forearm issue.

UP NEXT

Angels: After completing their first series sweep of the season, the Angels open a four-game series at Kansas City on Thursday night.

Rangers: Texas is the last team in the majors to get a day off after playing 14 consecutive days to start the season. The Rangers will be off Thursday before opening a three-game series Friday night against the Astros.

Trees damaged by winds in Arlington

Had to go to Arlington, upstate. It was hot as hell. We only went up 2 points in our score from last year. But, apparently we have been seeing the same judges each time so they are probably getting bored of seeing our show each week. T-T

Arlington has some motherfuckin' great food. Apple Crisp <3.

My former instructor who was my favorite instructor came to see the show. Saw me, walked past me, barely said Hello. Fuckin' cunt. Don't show up, show the color guard you're here, then ignore us all. Why did you show up at all then -__-. /end Rant.

Once we got close to home things were starting to get hectic on the bus. My best friend took her bun out of hair and she's black. So it was one big poof with as she likes to call them, "Nigga-Naps." Then we started fighting. It ended up with her putting her shoes on her hands and then slapping me with them. Then once we got into the Guard Closet to hang up our costumes we start fighting again. Then my other friend got involved she already got smacked though by me on the bus and was seeking revenge.

It ended up with "Nigga-Naps" falling on the floor knocking the stuff down everywhere. And my other friend throwing a bag full of my stuff at my face.
