ANAHEIM, Calif—Shohei Ohtani’s Angels-record 14th homer in June wasn’t enough to overcome a six-run third inning by the Chicago White Sox.
The Japanese superstar broke the team mark for home runs in a month Thursday, June 29, during the ninth inning of Los Angeles’ 9–7 loss with a two-run shot to left-center off Kendall Graveman’s slider.
Ohtani surpassed his own mark of 13 homers hit in June, 2021. He had shared the Angels’ record with Mike Trout (July 2019), Albert Pujols (June 2015), Mo Vaughn (May 2000) and Tim Salmon (June 1996).
The homer was Ohtani’s fourth in the four-game series and also extended his hitting streak to seven games. On Tuesday, he became the first AL starting pitcher since 1963 to hit two home runs and strike out at least 10 in the same game….
