Ohtani connected for his first homer since Sept. 10, driving a solo shot off Houston’s Cristian Javier 445 feet into the elevated right field stands at the Big A. “Chop that up a little bit, you might get two or three out of that,” Angels manager Joe Maddon said. Phil Gosselin hit a three-run homer and Jack Mayfield had a solo shot for the Angels, who have lost five straight while wrapping up their seventh straight non-playoff season. Tucker hit a two-run homer and Díaz followed with a solo shot off Naughton in the second for the Astros’ 10th back-to-back homers of the season. Maldonado added a solo shot during Houston’s three-run sixth for his second homer in two nights at his former home stadium.
