Los Angeles Angels equal dubious MLB milestone with 7 home runs hit in losing cause

The Los Angeles Angels tied a dubious major league record when they smashed seven home runs -- all solo shots -- but still lost to the Oakland Athletics 8-7 on Thursday in Anaheim, California.

The Angels are just the second team to hit seven solo homers and lose, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. They're also the first team in the majors to hit seven solo homers and score no other runs in a game.

Shohei Ohtani, who left Wednesday night's game due to a left forearm cramp, bounced back with two of the homers and two RBIs.
