David Ortiz went 0-for-7 and stranded 12 runners as the Red Sox dropped a 5-4, 12-inning decision to the Angels yesterday in Anaheim.

Ortiz struck out three times, once with the bases loaded in the fourth, and left the bases loaded again in the 12th with a dribbler in front of the plate as his average plummeted to .208. The five-time All-Star has gone 144 at-bats since his last home run on Sept. 22 against Cleveland’s Zach Jackson at Fenway Park. He is one at-bat from equaling his longest dry spell.
