A is spoiled by the Orioles, while Shohei Ohtani leads MLB with 39 home runs before exiting with cramps.

Shohei Ohtani hit his 39th home run of the season for the Angels, but he had to leave the game due to leg cramps, and the Toronto Blue Jays came back to win the Angels 4-1.

After going deep on the first pitch he saw on Friday, Ohtani went deep in his next three at-bats across two games. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, he was taken out of the game for pinch hitter Michael Stefanic.

After the game, Phil Nevin, manager of the Angels, revҽaled that Ohtani left because of cramping.

The Angels’ four-game winning streak came to an end when Stefanic struck out looking for Toronto. The Blue Jays went 3-for-5 with home runs from Matt Chapman, Danny Jansen, and Whit Merrifield, improving to 24-11.

Kevin Gausman (8-5) won for the first time since June 21 at Miami, allowing just one run on five hits over six and a third innings. With nine more strikeouts than his opponent, Gausman moved into first place in the AL in that category.

The New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge’s return to the lineup was spoiled by a one-run loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night, thanks to a home run by Anthony Santander off Tommy Kahnle in the bottom of the ninth.

With a man on second and no outs in the eighth inning, Santander made a lunging, sliding catch in right field, and second baseman Adam Frazier made a diving stop on Anthony Rizzo’s grounder to keep New York from scoring. Judge walked three times in his first game back from a toe ιnjury.

Grayson Rodriguez, a rookie for the Orioles, matched New York’s Gerrit Cole, who lasted seven innings and allowed no runs, inning for inning. Félix Bautista (6-1) had a scoreless ninth with two strikeouts. In the bottom half, Santander hit a home run to right center off of Kahnle (1-1), who was unable to duplicate the performance.

The Orioles extended their lead over the Rays to 1 1/2 games in the AL East, and they now have a nine-game advantage over the last-place New York Yankees.

There was a two-hour and 32-minute delay in the start of the game. The first pitch thrown to Judge in the first was a line drive to right field, but on the next three pitches he was safe at first.
