The Legend had a rough day. Played a real lineup Those things happen. Baseball is cruel, that way. The sliders sailed high, the splitters were spiked, and the fastballs remained flat. The impressive arsenal of pitches that Shohei Ohtani displayed through his first two starts for the Los Angeles Angels were nowhere to be found against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night, and he was removed after two innings with a blister on his right middle finger. The two-way Japanese rookie sensation left after 66 pitches. He gave up three runs on four hits -- including one of Mookie Betts' three home runs -- in a 10-1 loss at a sold-out Angel Stadium. "[The blister] had an effect on the overall command of all his pitches," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He didn't say anything in warm-ups about it. .... He got through two innings, but we don't want it to get any worse. Just make sure you bounce back for his next start, which we anticipate right now."
