The Los Angeles Angels (27–31) woes continue as they add to a franchise-high 14-game losing streak following a second shutout 1–0 in two of the last three games by the Boston Red Sox (30–27) on Wednesday—compounding to Tuesday’s firing of manager Joe Maddon and Mike Trout’s injury.
Poor offensive performances continue with six back-ups to add to the skid, surpassing the losing streak in the final 12 games of the 1988 season and the opening game of 1989.
The Angels lineup is depleted with injuries to Trout, Taylor Ward, Anthony Rendon, and David Fletcher. Luis Rengifo is also out on the paternity list.
