Shohei Ohtani extended his hitting streak to a career-best 17 games as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Texas Rangers 8-3 on Sunday. Ohtani's current streak equals his longest stretch as a member of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters.
Fresh from signing a new one-year, $30-million deal with the Angels, the two-way superstar kept the streak alive with a line-drive single to center in his first plate appearance.
He later scored on Taylor Ward's RBI single as the Halos racked up six runs against right-hander Tyson Miller (1-2) in the first inning of their Angel Stadium season finale.
