Angels slammed out of Mexico and can’t hang with the Astros

Series: Angels 6, Astros 24

If this series proved anything, it’s that the Angels are not at all close to being able to compete for the AL West title. The Astros had their way with the Halos on Saturday, and as expected did it again on Sunday. The only real surprise was that the Angels managed to score 4 runs off Justin Verlander who’s been just plain cruel to them the last few years.

The Angels actually started out this game with a lead, thanks to a David Fletcher lead-off home run. The Astros scored 2 in the second and the Angels answered back with 2 of their own (thanks to a Jonathan Lucroy homer) Matt Harvey kept the Angels in this game, and with a lead - at least until the 5th inning when he left with the bases loaded and was promptly Subsoiled.
