The Los Angeles Angels’ two-way star Shohei Ohtani got his sixth straight win Wednesday night, beating the Houston Astros 7-1, and also hit a two-run triple.

The reigning American League MVP struck out 12 in six innings as he improved his record to 9-4. It was the third time this season Ohtani has had double-digit strikeouts and multiple RBIs in a game, something only two other pitchers have done: Atlanta’s Kevin Millwood in 1999 and Detroit’s Hal Newhouser in 1946.

 

Blue Jays Fire Manager

The Toronto Blue Jays fired manager Charlie Montoyo Wednesday, with the team having a 46-42 record, but going 3-9 so far in July.

General manager Ross Atkins said, “I truly wanted this to work with Charlie and wasn’t able to make that happen. I’m extremely disappointed in where we are. I think we’re better than how we’ve played.”

Bench coach John Schneider was promoted to interim manager for the remainder of the season. Montoyo was hired after the 2018 season, and went 236-236 in parts of four seasons.

 

Ten Won't Play For Royals In Upcoming Trip

Ten of the 26 players on the Kansas City Royals’ active roster won’t be on the team’s upcoming trip to Toronto for four games against the Blue Jays because they aren’t vaccinated against Covid-19, which is required by Canada.

The 10 will be put on the restricted list and forfeit four days of pay and major league service time. The Royals will name their replacments today.
