Shohei Ohtani hits 30th homer of season to push Angels past Yankees

The Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani became the first Japan-born MLB player with two 30-home run seasons as he drove in the winning runs to give his team a 3-2 victory and a series win against the New York Yankees on Wednsday.

The series was something of a showdown between the top contenders for the American League MVP award: Angels two-way star Ohtani and Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge. Both homered twice in the series. Judge’s blast on Wednesday was his MLB-leading 51st homer.
