Shohei Ohtani led the Los Angeles Angels to a victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, ending the club's losing streak at 14 games.

Ohtani homered and pitched seven one-run innings in the Angels' 5-2 victory.

L.A.'s losing streak was the longest ever for a team with a reigning MVP on its roster, passing the 13 straight by the 1985 Chicago Cubs of Ryne Sandberg and the 11 straight by the 1995 Houston Astros of Jeff Bagwell. 

Ohtani became just the fifth player since 1900 and the first since 1969 to hit a home run and earn a win in the victory that snapped a losing streak of at least 10 games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
