Shohei Ohtani gave up consecutive home runs for the first time in his major league career and then was gone. The Los Angeles Angels' two-way superstar left Tuesday's game with a blister on his right middle finger after allowing long drives by Xander Bogaerts and Jake Cronenworth in the sixth inning of an 8-5 loss to Joe Musgrove and the San Diego Padres. Ohtani's exit came a few hours after the Angels learned they'll be without All-Star slugger Mike Trout for several weeks because of a broken left wrist.

Shohei Ohtani added another highlight to his amazing June with the longest home run of his major league career, becoming the ninth player to reach 30 homers in a season by July 1. It was only a solo shot, though, and not enough for the Los Angeles Angels to overcome a grand slam by Arizona's Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Gurriel's second-inning drive into the Angels' bullpen in left field was the decisive blow in the Diamondbacks' 6-2 victory Friday night.
