MLB: Ohtani shuts down pitching arm
Shohei Ohtani won’t pitch as planned Friday for the Angels because of a sore right arm that could sideline him as a pitcher for the rest of the season, according to manager Joe Maddon. Ohtani, who had two hits in the Angels‘ 9-3 win over the White Sox on Thursday, is not planning to see a doctor.
• In Philadelphia, Bryce Harper doubled to start a seven-run, game-tying rally in the fourth inning, drove in the go-ahead run in the sixth and sealed the Phillies’ 17-8 win over the Cubs.
• Fernando Tatis Jr. hit his NL-leading 39th home run and the Padres beat the Giants 7-4 in San Francisco to earn a series split.
