ANAHEIM, California: In a season that has turned into a titanic struggle for the Los Angeles Angels, they suffered another pain-staking defeat Thursday (Friday in Manila).

The Halos tied a major league record with seven solo home runs, including two by Shohei Ohtani, but still lost to the Oakland Athletics, 8-7, in a crazy matinee affair at Angel Stadium.
