Shohei Ohtani will again shoulder the Los Angeles Angels’ (38–50) hopes to end another losing streak after the team lost five straight games, including a failed rally against the AL West division Houston Astros (57–29), 6–5, at Angel Stadium on Tuesday.
Ohtani (8–4, 2.44 ERA) is scheduled to pitch Wednesday night in the second meeting of a three-game series against the Astros, in hopes of extending a five-game consecutive start win streak and a 28 2/3 scoreless innings streak.
