ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani left the mound after only four scoreless innings due to cramping in his pitching hand and fingers, but then hit his major league-leading 40th homer in the Los Angeles Angels' 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Rookie Cade Marlowe hit his first career grand slam in the ninth inning for the Mariners, who rallied from a two-run deficit against All-Star closer Carlos Estévez. Ohtani drilled a 107-mph line drive off Isaiah Campbell into the right field stands at Angel Stadium in the eighth inning, securing his second career 40-homer season.
