ANAHEIM -- Injuries have frayed the Angels' rotation depth to the point where they had no better alternative than to rely entirely on their bullpen in Sunday's series finale against the A's. But a parade of relievers couldn't stop a parade of A's runs and a late rally fell just short, culminating in an 8-7 loss at Angel Stadium.
After trailing by five runs in the fifth inning, the Angels slowly chipped away at the deficit and managed to pull within one on Shohei Ohtani's two-run, two-out single off Jeurys Familia in the bottom of the eighth.
