If you were to check the score and see that the Angels lost 6-1, you’d likely think that the bats had a very quiet night. Well, that’s technically true.
For the game, the Angels actually had 10 hits. They had more hits than the Rangers, who they lost to by five runs. It’s rare you see a team outhit the other when they lose by five runs. The reason for the loss on Tuesday night was LA’s inability to hit with runners in scoring position.
They were 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and stranded nine runners on base.
