The last two weeks have been of redemption for many MLB teams. The Los Angeles Angels are one such team who have picked up the pace lately, winning seven of their last ten games. With this, they have moved to second place in the AL West and are now just 4.5 games behind the top-placed Texas Rangers. The recent dominance of the Angels can be attributed to the dynamic duo of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. Last night, this dynamic duo achieved yet another milestone, solidifying their place in Angels’ history!
In the recent game against the Kansas City Royals, the LA Angles duo played brilliantly. Which led them to not only helping the team win, but also creating a record in the game. Already in love with the duo’s performances, fans joined the conversation of this recent development. Reacting to this record-breaking update, they have crafted messages of praise.

Finally, the patience and faith the Angels fans had in the duo are paying dividends to them. Trout and Ohtani have broken their slump in form, but have been continuously hitting well, creating multiple records as partners. The same happened when the two played against the Kansas City Royals. Sho-time started the fire with his brilliant hitting, and Trout joined in, adding more to the heat at the stadium.

Fans are certainly loving the performance of both players, especially Ohtani’s, who is serving his last year with the team. As the Angels have not made it to the playoffs since 2014, fans are hoping that this duo continues performing to get there finally. And possibly stop Ohtani from making a move away from the team.
