The Boston Red Sox were a real buzzkill for the Angels and Shohei Ohtani on Tuesday night, the team with the best record in baseball knocking the seemingly otherworldly two-way star back to terra firma.
A sellout crowd of 44,822, the second-largest since the 1998 renovation of Angel Stadium, packed the house in anticipation of another pitching gem by Ohtani, the Japanese right-hander who was dominant in his first two starts.
Ohtani didn't make it to the third inning, a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand and the blistering bats of the Red Sox conspiring against him in a 10-1 loss that snapped the Angels' seven-game win streak.
