Ward, Trout, Ohtani hit 3 straight homers as Angels rally past Royals

ANAHEIM, Calif. ― As an offensive strategy, putting the ball in play against Kansas City Royals pitcher Jordan Lyles wasn’t getting the job done for the Angels on Sunday afternoon.

Putting the ball over the fence worked, but only in the sixth inning. That was all it took to spur a come-from-behind, 4-3 win over the Royals before an announced crowd of 36,016 at Angel Stadium.

Taylor Ward, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani all hit solo home runs in consecutive at-bats against Lyles, turning a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead. The Angels (11-11) survived a late home run by Bobby Witt Jr. to win two of three games against Kansas City (5-17) to begin a seven-game homestand.
