Two-month free-fall torpedoes Angels’ promising start and likely their playoff chances

LA Times  

The Angels couldn’t have scripted a better opening act to this season, going 27-17 and sitting one game behind the American League West-leading Houston Astros on May 24. You lose 14 games in a row, it’s gonna hurt your confidence.” — Jared Walsh, Angels first baseman The season turned when the Angels were swept in a four-game series by the Toronto Blue Jays at home from May 26-29, blowing late leads in two games and losing Rendon, their third baseman and cleanup batter, to a right wrist injury. It sucks.” — Jared Walsh In 48 games since May 25, the Angels ranked 29th out of 30 teams in average, runs, OPS and slugging percentage. The Angels appear too flawed, too thin and too far back in the standings to make a playoff run, and unlike every one of their previous six losing seasons, starting pitching hasn’t been the primary culprit — their 3.88 rotation ERA ranks 13th in baseball.
