Angels Soar Past Mariners in Game 3, Ohtani Shines

The Los Angeles Angels took a commanding 2-1 series lead over the Seattle Mariners with a resounding 6-1 victory in Game 3 at Angel Stadium on Tuesday night. The Angels' offense exploded, led by a stellar performance from Shohei Ohtani, who continued his dominance both on the mound and at the plate.

Ohtani's Two-Way Brilliance

Ohtani, the two-way superstar, was the catalyst for the Angels' victory. On the mound, he tossed six strong innings, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out eight Mariners hitters. His fastball sat in the mid-90s, and his slider was particularly effective, generating a flurry of swings and misses.

"He was really good tonight," said Angels manager Phil Nevin. "He was commanding the strike zone and keeping them off balance."

But Ohtani's dominance wasn't limited to the mound. In the batter's box, he went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored, demonstrating his remarkable versatility.

Angels' Offense Explodes

The Angels' offense was clicking on all cylinders. Mike Trout continued his hot hitting, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Anthony Rendon added a two-run homer, and Brandon Drury contributed a two-run single. The Angels collected 11 hits and chased Mariners starter George Kirby early in the game.

Mariners Struggle to Find Offense

The Mariners struggled to generate offense against Ohtani and the Angels' bullpen. Julio Rodríguez, their star outfielder, was held hitless, and the team only managed one run, scored on a solo home run by Eugenio Suárez.

Series Shifting to Seattle

The series now shifts to Seattle for Game 4 on Wednesday night. The Mariners will be looking to even the series, but they face a daunting task against an Angels team riding high on the momentum of Ohtani's brilliance and a potent offense. With Ohtani's two-way dominance, the Angels are looking to continue their winning streak and take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
