ANAHEIM — The MVP showdown between Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge lived up to its billing., Ohtani delivered a three-run blast to give the Angels the lead in their 3-2 victory on Wednesday night before a sellout crowd of 43,555 at Angel Stadium.
“Definitely it leads to motivation for me to do better, trying to go for that hardware,” Ohtani said through his interpreter. “It’s something I think about. For the most part, I just take it game by game, at-bat by at-bat. At the end of the day, we’ll count it all up.” The Angels were trailing the Yankees, and ace Gerrit Cole, 2-0 in the sixth. David Fletcher opened the inning with an infield single, and he took second on a bad throw by third baseman Josh Donaldson. Mike Trout then hit a routine grounder to shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who booted it.
Ohtani had barely missed a two-run homer in the first when center fielder Aaron Hicks robbed him with a leaping catch at the fence.
