Shohei Ohtani gets MRI test on pitching arm following dismal start in Angels loss

LA Times  

Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani made another early exit in the team’s 6-5 loss to the Houston Astros on Sunday. A grueling Sunday afternoon in which the Angels let another late-inning lead slip away in a 6-5, 11-inning loss to the Houston Astros ended with news that could puncture their playoff hopes in a pandemic-shortened season. “It’s tough because it’s a short season and every game counts,” said slugger Albert Pujols, who provided the bulk of the Angels’ offense Sunday with a third-inning grand slam. “I thought he came out of his delivery.” Pujols took Ohtani off the hook for a potential loss when he followed three walks by Houston starter Josh James with his 15th career grand slam, blasting a two-and-0 chest-high fastball over both bullpens in left field to turn a 2-0 Angels deficit into a 4-2 lead.
