A night after giving up 10 runs to the Houston Astros, Angels pitching was bullied once again in a 10-5 loss Tuesday night.
The Angels have struggled mightily against the Astros and the AL West all season, and their ineptitude in the division reared its ugly head again as the Halos lost their fifth straight game. The loss moves them to 72-79 on the season and officially eliminated them from postseason contention.
In what has become a mundane stretch of division matchups, the Angels offense offered a little more excitement in the second game of the four-game series after laying an egg on Monday, but were unable to overcome a 10-1 deficit.
