BOSTON -- Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani had his start shortened by a lengthy rain delay Monday afternoon after he allowed a run in two hitless innings against the Red Sox.
The 28-year-old Ohtani gave up a run in the first inning by walking leadoff hitter Raimel Tapia and throwing two wild pitches before Rob Refsnyder's run-scoring ground out.
During the delay, Ohtani remained on the field while the grounds crew worked to keep the mound dry. At times, he even threw warm-up pitches while rain was falling.
