The Babe Ruth connections to Shohei Ohtani just keep coming.

April 27: Rangers 6, Angels 1 -- Upton's hit streak continues
Left fielder Justin Upton extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the eighth inning against the Rangers on Tuesday. It's his longest hit streak since joining the Angels and tied for the seventh-longest of his career. His longest was 18 games with the D-backs in 2009.

April 26: Angels 9, Rangers 4 -- Ohtani's double duty in win
Shohei Ohtani helped his own cause in his two-way start against the Rangers, going 2-for-3 with two RBIs and three runs scored in addition to working five innings to earn his first win since May 20, 2018. He became the first American League pitcher to have at least two hits and three runs scored in a game since the Twins' Jim Perry did it against the Red Sox on May 1, 1971.

April 25: Angels 4, Astros 2 -- 2021 Angels match 1986 Halos
Shohei Ohtani hit the go-ahead homer the Angels needed to avoid a sweep against the Astros, and he also kept Los Angeles on pace with a club record. With Ohtani’s solo shot, the Halos have homered in 18 of their first 20 games this season, which tied a franchise-best mark set by the 1986 club.

April 24: Astros 16, Angels 2 -- Pujols outdoes himself

Angels lefty Andrew Heaney struck out 10 over 6 1/3 strong innings against the Astros, marking the 12th time in his career he reached double digits in strikeouts in a start. The last time he struck out 10 batters was on Aug. 28, 2020, against the Mariners.

April 22: Astros 8, Angels 2 -- Pujols torments Astros again
Angels slugger Albert Pujols added to his totals against the Astros with a two-run homer off Bryan Abreu, giving him 61 career blasts against Houston and 32 at Minute Maid Park. No opposing player has more career homers against Houston or at Minute Maid Park than Pujols.

Two-way star Shohei Ohtani launched a solo homer off Rangers right-hander Mike Foltynewicz and sped around the bases after he hit it. He made it to home in 17.3 seconds, which marks the fastest time on an over-the-fence homer in the Majors this season.

April 20: Angels 6, Rangers 2 -- New record for Trout
Angels superstar Mike Trout absolutely crushed a solo homer off Rangers right-hander Jordan Lyles, as it went a projected 446 feet to left with an exit velocity of 115.5 mph. It was Trout's hardest-hit homer tracked by Statcast since it debuted in 2015.

April 14: Royals 6, Angels 1 -- Home run streak ends at 11 games
By not hitting a home run in Wednesday's loss to the Royals, the Angels' streak of games with at least one long ball ended at 11.

April 13: Royals 3, Angels 2 -- Trout strikes out four times
Angels superstar Mike Trout had a rare off-night at the plate, going 1-for-5 with four strikeouts, including with two on and one out in the ninth inning of a 3-2 loss to the Royals.

He also made a throwing error in the fifth inning trying to throw out Jonathan Davis at first base.

April 9: Angels 7, Blue Jays 1 -- Angels match franchise's best start
In the win over the Blue Jays, the Angels matched the franchise record for the best eight-game start to begin a season.

April 8: Angels 7, Blue Jays 5 (11) -- Trout takes ball to school

Angels superstar Mike Trout homered in his third straight game with a solo shot off Blue Jays right-hander Ross Stripling in the fifth inning.

April 2: White Sox 12, Angels 8 -- Rodriguez's debut one to remember
Right-hander Chris Rodriguez made his big league debut and did something that an Angels Draft pick hadn't done since 2013. Rodriguez became the first Angel in nearly eight years to pitch two scoreless innings in his debut, with Michael Roth being the last player to do so. Rodriguez struck out three batters and allowed two hits and one walk in the outing.

April 1: Angels 4, White Sox 3 -- Rose, Murray welcome Pujols
