While the bullpen is not the only unit that struggled tonight, the relievers let the Angels down when they needed them most.
The Los Angeles Angels were all tied up in the eighth until the bullpen completely ripped the wheels right off.
After Shohei Ohtani‘s dominant performance, Aaron Slegers and Alex Claudio struggled.
Slegers came in first and walked the leadoff batter, and left the inning with two runners on base.
