AROUND THE HORN

Angels: Shohei Ohtani homered in his third straight game, launching a solo drive estimated at 449 feet in the second inning against the A’s Daniel Gossett.

The Reds lost for the fifth time in six games.

Braves: Brandon McCarthy allowed three runs in six innings and delivered a two-run double in an 8-3 win over the Rockies that marked the second-coldest game in Coors Field history.

Dansby Swanson singled, doubled and tripled and drove in three runs. The Braves lead the majors with 56 runs.

Orlando Arcia’s walk-off single propelled the Brewers past the Cubs 5-4.
