Two-way star Shohei Ohtani blasted his first two home runs of the season Friday as the Los Angeles Angels came from behind to beat the Texas Rangers 9-6.

The reigning American League MVP had not homered in his first seven games of the season for the first time in his five-year MLB career. He ended the drought by connecting on the first pitch on his 31st trip to the plate this year.

Ohtani, who was tagged with his second straight loss as a pitcher a day earlier, drove a high Matt Bush fastball over the wall in right-center at Globe Life Field.
