ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels phenom Shohei Ohtani took a no-hitter into the eighth inning Thursday night in a 4-2 win against the Oakland Athletics before Conner Capel singled with two outs to break it up.
Capel hit a sharp grounder that deflected off sliding shortstop Livan Soto's glove and into left-center field. Even if Soto had been able to field it, he would have had trouble throwing out Capel.
Dermis Garcia followed with a clean single to left before Ohtani retired Shea Langeliers on a grounder to third to end the inning.
The Angels lead 4-0. Ohtani also extended his hitting streak to 14 games with an RBI single in the first. It is the longest current streak in the majors.
