Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim has provided one of the season's most compelling storylines after impressing as both a pitcher and a batter
Boston lefty David Price (2-1) struck out six and allowed one run and four hits in five innings for the Red Sox, who lead the American League East.
The team later announced Ohtani was removed due to a developing blister on his pitching hand. The announcement last December that the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters would post Ohtani set in motion pitches from all 30 teams hoping to claim an unprecedented jackpot.
On Wednesday, the Red Sox will give the ball to right-hander Rick Porcello (3-0, 1.83 ERA), the 2016 AL Cy Young Award victor.
Ohtani's ERA is now 3.60 as he's surrendered three runs in two of his three starts.
~ Jackie Bradley Jr.'s third inning homer vs. Bard also traveled 438 feet with a 109.8 miles per hour exit velocity and 28 degree launch angle.
Ohtani departed his start against the Boston Red Sox at home on Tuesday after just two innings.
Ohtani gave up a leadoff homer to Boston's Mookie Betts, and he couldn't throw his formidable breaking pitches for consistent strikes.

Investors will commonly use Williams %R in conjunction with other trend indicators to help spot possible stock turning points. Zacks Investment Research lowered TriMas from a "buy" rating to a "hold" rating in a research report on Tuesday, March 20th.
Ohtani won his first two big-league starts in impressive fashion against Oakland, retiring 27 consecutive batters in a combined stretch over the two games. Yet on Tuesday night, the Red Sox wouldn't let up.
~ Brock Holt also blasted a homer in the third.
But Sunday's scheduled start in Kansas City was postponed and Ohtani had to wait two extra days before his third start of the season.
Ohtani, meanwhile, is 2-0 pitching so far this season, and he's looked good doing it.
What Betts got was a 97-mph fastball over the middle of the plate that he turned into a no-doubt home run to left-center field. Only three of his 66 pitches resulted in swinging strikes.
