Following Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani's blasted mammoth home runs against the Chicago White Sox, the LA Angels' stars were outdoing each other on Wednesday afternoon. The Angels were in Chicago on a vacation day Wednesday before heading to Houston to face the Astros on Thursday. In the first inning, Trout stepped up to the plate first with a runner on first and White Sox pitcher Lance Lynn pitching an 82-mph breaking ball.

No one was left out, but Ohtani, a teammate, stepped up with not one, but two rockets of his own.
