CLEVELAND – In the middle of Sunday’s game, the final one on a 10-day trip that must have felt a month-long to the Angels, they had pieced together a lead.
The way the Angels have been going, though, it was a fragile lead, like a house of cards, teetering on the brink of collapse.
And it did.
A three-run lead in the fifth had melted to one by the sixth and ended up as a 5-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians, the Angels’ 10th straight defeat.
After not having much of a chance to win the previous three games in Cleveland, there was some sliver of consolation in the fact that they could have won this one.
