Shohei Ohtani's home run streak ends at 5 games in Dodgers' win over Red Sox at Fenway Park
BOSTON (AP) — Shohei Ohtani was held homerless for the first time in a week in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 5-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Ohtani struck out twice, singled, walked and hit a foul popup. His five-game home run streak leaves him tied with six other players in Dodgers history, most recently Max Muncy in 2019. When Ohtani came up for the final time with one out and one on and the Dodgers leading 5-2 in the top of the ninth, Red Sox manager Alex Cora brought in left-hander Brennan Bernardino to replace righty Jorge Alcala. Ohtani popped up foul to the catcher. ___ AP MLB: Jimmy Golen, The Associated Press

Donald Trump's White House visit with struggling Boston Red Sox baffles baseball fans
The last time the Boston Red Sox visited Donald Trump 's White House was when the club was the reigning World Series champion back in May of 2019. On Thursday, with a record of just 43-45 entering a weekend series with the Washington Nationals, an entirely different group of Red Sox players were greeted by President Trump in the Oval Office. 'Why is a team that is 43-45 at the White House?' a fan asked in response to a White House video showing players shaking hands with Trump at the Resolute desk. The confusion was understandable. Typically, such White House visits are reserved for champions, and unless the sub-.500 Red Sox are supremely confident in their playoff chances, their presence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. was a bit presumptuous. But as it turns out, the Red Sox were not prematurely celebrating a tenth World Series title. Instead, 'the team participated in a tour of the White House as part of their family trip to DC this weekend,' a club spokeswoman told Daily Mail. It's unclear if players' parents were also on the tour, or who arranged the meet-and-greet opportunity on Thursday as the Red Sox spokeswoman did not respond to those specific questions. Regardless, Trump did get a laugh out of some members of the Red Sox roster. When Boston reliever Justin Wilson introduced himself, Trump joked: 'I know every one of you.' The President would get another chuckle from the crowd after receiving praise from another reliever. 'Great job,' Brennan Bernardino told Trump, who acted as if he expected the compliment. 'I know that,' the 79-year-old executive said, generating a few more giggles from players. Beyond the confusion over the players' presence in the Oval Office was the outrage among some Boston fans. 'We found a way to lose on an off day,' one remarked. 'Don't see why [manager Alex] Cora would let them go and see this guy,' one fan wondered. Cora and then-Red Sox star Mookie Betts both skipped Boston's White House trip in May of 2019 as the team was celebrating its 2018 title. However, Betts was on hand this April when he and the reigning-champion Los Angeles Dodgers visited Trump in Washington. 'Mookie Betts, aww is he good,' Trump said Monday before finding the 5-foot-9 former MVP on stage among his teammates. Trump went over and shook Betts hand before exchanging a few words and returning to the podium.

(AP Photo/Jayne Kamin-Oncea) ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Yusei Kikuchi struck out a season-high 12 in seven innings, Jo Adell and Travis d'Arnaud hit solo homers and RBI singles, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2 Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep. Kikuchi (3-6) allowed up two hits, walked one and threw 31 pitches in a shaky first inning when the Red Sox took advantage of shortstop Scott Kingery's fielding error and scored two unearned runs on Trevor Story's two-out, single with the bases loaded. Advertisement The 34-year-old Japanese left-hander recovered and limited Boston to one hit with no walks over the next six innings. Kikuchi struck out the side in the second and fifth innings and retired the Red Sox in order in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings. Kikuchi induced 20 swinging strikes and threw 74 pitches over the final six innings. Ryan Zeferjahn worked a scoreless eighth and ninth for his second save as the Angels (40-40) reached .500 for the first time since May 23. Adell and d'Arnaud homered off Red Sox starter Richard Fitts on consecutive pitches in the fourth for a 2-all tie. Adell's 433-foot shot was his 17th homer of the season and 10th in June. Boston reliever Luis Guerrero (0-1) issued a leadoff walk to Nolan Schanuel and a one-out walk to Mike Trout in the fifth. The right-hander struck out Taylor Ward with a 97-mph fastball before allowing consecutive two-out RBI singles to Adell and d'Arnaud, giving the Angels a 4-2 lead. Advertisement The Angels pushed the lead to 5-2 in the sixth on singles by Luis Rengifo and Kingery. Trout followed with an RBI single with two outs off reliever Zack Kelly. Key moment Boston had a chance to extend its lead in the first, but Kikuchi got Ceddanne Rafaela to ground out to second with runners on second and third, ending the inning. Kikuchi then retired 18 of the next 19 batters he faced. Key stat The Angels have used five starting pitchers — Kikuchi, Jose Soriano, Tyler Anderson, Kyle Hendricks and Jack Kochaanowicz — through 80 games, matching a franchise record set in 1999 for most games to begin a season using no more than five starters. Advertisement Up next Angels RHP Jose Soriano (5-5, 3.39 ERA) will oppose Washington RHP Jake Irvin (6-3, 4.18) in Anaheim on Friday. Red Sox RHP Brayan Bello (3-2, 3.31) will start Friday's series opener against Toronto in Boston. ___ AP MLB:
