They lost their starting pitcher, their shortstop and, ultimately, their fourth consecutive game Wednesday, the Angels fleeing the Pacific Northwest with little more than their pride intact.
Unable to hold a late two-run lead, they eventually fell dramatically to first-place Seattle 8-6 on a last-swing homer by Mitch Haniger off reliever Oliver Drake.
Garrett Richards lasted only two innings before departing with tightness in his left hamstring. An inning later, Zack Cozart departed with a strained left shoulder.
Both players tried to remain optimistic afterward but both also sounded wary, hardly surprising given the Angels’ recent run of injuries.
