He hit 22 homers in 104 games last season when he won the American League Rookie of the Year award. Ohtani had plenty of help Thursday as every hitter in the Angels lineup had at least one hit. The Angels did most of their damage against Athletics starter Tanner Anderson, who lasted only 2 2/3 innings. Angels starter Griffin Canning was sharp, giving up two runs on three hits and one walk in six innings, striking out six. Oakland has been equally hot of late, having won 11 of its past 17 games despite Thursday’s loss.
