MILWAUKEE (AP) — Shohei Ohtani’s third-inning home run Sunday, off Colin Rea, reached 162 feet above the field.

That is the highest ball since Statcast started tracking in 2015. The solo shot helped the Los Angeles Angels beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-0 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.

Ohtani hit his seventh home run of the season on an 85.9 mph cutter from Rea (0-2). Ohtani is batting .394 (13 for 33) in his last eight games and .294 for the season.
