Tigers overcome Ohtani's 23rd HR, hold off Angels 5-3 in 10

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani hit his sixth homer in six games for the Angels, but Daz Cameron hit a two-run single in the 10th inning and the Detroit Tigers avoided a four-game series sweep with a 5-3 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday.

Cameron came through on Father's Day with his father, MLB veteran Mike Cameron, in the Big A stands.

Jose Cisnero (1-4) pitched two hitless innings of relief for Detroit. Michael Fulmer pitched the 10th for his sixth save, walking Ohtani with two outs before striking out Taylor Ward.

Casey Mize only was hurt by the Angels’ power during five innings of eight-hit ball for Detroit.
