The Halos have improved markedly over the past month even without Mike Trout, and Ohtani\u2019s two-way performances are leading the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely felt good pitching in front of a lot of people,\u201d Ohtani said through his translator. \u201cDefinitely better than no fans. It gives me energy, gives me confidence. Only good things come out of the fans being there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luis Rengifo and David Fletcher drove in early runs for Los Angeles, and Ward highlighted a five-run seventh by drilling a 418-foot shot to center field for his seventh homer of the season. The Angels stumbled home after a three-game sweep in Oakland interrupted their momentum this week, but Ohtani already sees it returning.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" alt=\"Shohei Ohtani\" class=\"wp-image-18563371 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Shohei-Ohtani-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Shohei-Ohtani-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Shohei-Ohtani-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Shohei-Ohtani-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/Shohei-Ohtani-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1870 1870w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Shohei Ohtani<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIf we can play the ball we were playing during the winning streak, we can do a lot of good things, so today was a good start,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani was on again in his 10th mound start of the season, which matches his total during his AL Rookie of the Year campaign. The Japanese star struck out five and issued just one walk to the Tigers, who didn\u2019t get a runner to third base until Schoop hit his 12th homer in the sixth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought Shohei illustrated all of his talents today,\u201d said Angels manager Joe Maddon, who pulled his starter after 78 pitches. \u201cHe shows you a pretty complete game of baseball. \u2026 I thought that was a pretty significant day\u2019s work for him. It\u2019s still June, and I want this guy to have one of the greatest seasons ever, so I don\u2019t want to jeopardize his overall health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matt Manning (0-1) allowed four hits and two runs over five innings in the touted right-hander\u2019s solid major league debut for Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Schoop homered off Ohtani in the sixth for the Tigers, whose three-game winning streak ended after they rallied too late against the Angels\u2019 struggling bullpen.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit manager AJ Hinch praised Manning\u2019s effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe walked Ohtani, but I think we should walk Ohtani a lot, to be honest,\u201d Hinch said. \u201cWith two runs (allowed while pitching) against Ohtani, it\u2019s going to be tough. But the work we did against Ohtani, we got him out maybe an inning earlier than they would have wanted, and then we got to work against their bullpen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles had a 7-1 lead heading into the eighth, but reliever Mike Mayers allowed four straight Tigers to reach base and didn\u2019t get an out while giving up three runs.<\/p>\n<p>Raisel Iglesias got the final six outs for his 12th save, but he gave up two run-scoring hits in the eighth and allowed another run on a wild pitch in the ninth.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
