ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Framber Valdez racked up 12 strikeouts over eight innings of three-hit ball and sent Shohei Ohtani to his first mound loss of the season in the Houston Astros’ 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Ohtani passed Babe Ruth in career strikeouts while giving up six hits over seven innings, but the two-way superstar struggled through the fifth inning. Martín Maldonado hit a two-run homer and Yordan Alvarez had an RBI single in the fifth for the defending World Series champion Astros, who snapped their three-game losing streak.
