Over this most recent stretch of their road trip, the Orioles have been swinging some hot bats. Even as they continued Friday night in the first of a three-game series in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels to build a big lead, it didn’t help them win when up against the hottest, most sensational hitter in all of baseball: Shohei Ohtani.
A pair of two-run home runs by the two-way Japanese sensation erased an early lead, and he scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth as the Orioles snapped their three-game winning streak with Friday’s 8-7 loss to the Angels at Angels Stadium.
