ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani made a run at history in his final home start of the season.
The Angels’ two-way star was just four outs away from a no-hitter in a 4-2 victory over the Oakland A’s on Thursday night, working amid chants of “M-V-P! M-V-P!” from the Angel Stadium crowd.
Oakland outfielder Connor Capel hit a bouncer that ticked off the glove of shortstop Livan Soto, attempting to make a backhand stop, with two outs in the eighth. Dermis Garcia then punched a clean single into left field.
