a rough stretch

Hard to find a bright spot in the data. A 1-6 week weighs heavy on the score. Also weighing on the score: giving up 6.1 runs a game. That's the biggest issue.

Angels News

After a humiliating 1-12 loss to the Kansas City Royals, the Angels are in a tailspin, now 1-6 over their last seven games with a troubling run differential of -19. Just when it seemed things couldn't get worse, they placed catcher Logan O'Hoppe on the IL with a wrist fracture and designated closer Jordan Romano for assignment, signaling a desperate attempt to shake things up amid this dismal stretch. On a brighter note, Mike Trout set a franchise record with his 797th extra-base hit, though personal milestones feel hollow in the face of team struggles. With Jack Kochanowicz showing promise but still presenting concerns, the Angels must find a way to rally against the Royals again soon to avoid sinking even further.
