ANAHEIM, Calif—Shohei Ohtani’s Angels-record 14th homer in June wasn’t enough to overcome a six-run third inning by the Chicago White Sox.

The Japanese superstar broke the team mark for home runs in a month Thursday, June 29, during the ninth inning of Los Angeles’ 9–7 loss with a two-run shot to left-center off Kendall Graveman’s slider.
