Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels reached a major career milestone for his team recently against the Tampa Bay Rays at Angels Stadium in Anaheim, California. The Angels now have a record of 20-11 and retain their hard-earned top spot in the American League West. However, they are now just one game ahead of the Houston Astros, who are chomping at their heels.Shohei, still only 27 years of age, has taken the league by storm in the last four seasons. He is now one dinger short of 100 career home runs, and, judging by the way he is going, we doubt it will take much time at all.Shohei Ohtani smacks his first career grand slam out of the park for the Los Angeles AngelsShohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels hits in the fifth inning.On Monday night, the Angels were hosting the Tampa Bay Rays at Angel Stadium. The Rays were up 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning when Mike Trout hit a two-run shot to send his team up by a score of 5-1. It was an important career shot for Trout, as it was his 161st career home run at Angel Stadium. Trout now has more bombs in that park than any other player.Immediately after Trout's hit, Ohtani hit his own bomb off of Rays relief pitcher Jalen Beeks. It was enough to put the Angels up 6-1 up on their opponents and assume the drivers' seat in the game.Ben Verlander@BenVerlanderSHOHEI OHTANI AND MIKE TROUT WITH BACK TO BACK HOME RUNS ON CONSECUTIVE SWINGS THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING TEAM OF ALL TIME!!4100411SHOHEI OHTANI AND MIKE TROUT WITH BACK TO BACK HOME RUNS ON CONSECUTIVE SWINGS THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING TEAM OF ALL TIME!! https://t.co/OvOEoght2w"SHOHEI OHTANI AND MIKE TROUT WITH BACK TO BACK HOME RUNS ON CONSECUTIVE SWINGS THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING TEAM OF ALL TIME!!" - @ Ben VerlanderAn inning later, Ohtani stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded.
