The legend of Shohei Ohtani continues to grow as the Los Angeles Angels two-way star is having a month for the record books.
Ohtani launched his 14th home run during the month of June against the Chicago White Sox Thursday afternoon, setting a franchise record for the most home runs in a single month.
The ninth-inning, two-run bomb broke the previous franchise record of 13 home runs set by Ohtani, Albert Pujols and Tim Salmon.
