Shohei Ohtani homers in 3rd straight game, but Dodgers' malaise continues in another loss

Shohei Ohtani's latest home run binge hasn't been enough to spark the Los Angeles Dodgers out of a summer malaise that's endangering their customary perch atop the NL West. Ohtani homered in his third straight game Monday night, hitting his 42nd of the season in the eighth inning of the Dodgers' 7-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The Dodgers trailed 7-0 when Ohtani connected off Shaun Anderson with one out, driving his fourth homer in five games into the right field bleachers to tie Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber for the NL lead.
