NEW YORK — The House that Ruth Built has been a house of horrors for baseball’s modern-day Babe Ruth.
Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani was pounded for four runs and eight hits in three-plus innings of a 6-1 loss to the New York Yankees in the first game of a split doubleheader Thursday, the Angels’ seventh straight loss and 11th in 14 games.
The substandard start on baseball’s second annual Lou Gehrig Day was actually an upgrade over Ohtani’s first game in the Bronx, which says a lot about how the right-hander has performed here.
