(AP) — Janson Junk pitched five-plus innings of four-hit ball for the Angels on Wednesday, earning his first major league win when the Los Angeles bullpen shut down the Kansas City Royals the rest of the way in a 4-0 victory.
Shohei Ohtani reached base three times and drove in a run, pacing a scuffling Angels offense that capitalized on the Royals’ shoddy fielding to deliver their first series win since June 27-29 against the White Sox.
Brad Keller allowed three runs on six hits and three walks in six innings for Kansas City.
The Royals next take on the Yankees Thursday evening with first pitch at 6:05 central. Coverage begins at 5:30 on KFEQ Radio (680, 95.3) in St. Joseph.
