Stephen Piscotty hit a tiebreaking, two-run single with two outs in the sixth inning and the Oakland Athletics held on to beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-4 on Saturday.
The Angels placed four more players on the disabled list Friday, bringing their total to a franchise-record 15.
Angels starting pitcher Garrett Richards left the game after two innings because of tightness in his left hamstring.
Trout took sole possession of the major league lead with 23 home runs.
Albert Pujols also went deep for the Angels.
Albert Pujols had three RBIs to pass Stan Musial for sixth-most in baseball history with 1,954.
Pujols' solo home run in the sixth proved to be the difference as Tyler Skaggs (5-4) allowed one run in seven innings and matched a season best with eight strikeouts.
Ian Kinsler has five home runs in his last 10 games, batting .366 over that span. Justin Upton, who took Addison Reed deep, has five homers in his last six games.
Ohtani is 4-1 with a 3.10 ERA in his debut North American season. He has 61 strikeouts in 49 1/3 innings with a dazzling mix of 100-mph fastballs and precipitous breaking pitches.
It was the second time this season Ohtani left a game due to a blister on his right middle finger.
The Angels, who have won four of their last five, scored their run when Michael Hermosillo was caught in a rundown trying to steal second base.
Trout scored three runs and drove in two.
Tyler Skaggs pitched six scoreless innings of four-hit ball and Justin Upton homered in the Los Angeles Angels' 3-1 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
Trout's solo home run — his 19th of the season — gave the Angels a 1-0 lead. Trout also stole his 13th base.
Ian Kinsler had a two-run homer, and Simmons and Martin Maldonado each drove in a run for the Angels.
