The Angels couldn’t capitalize on a great start from Shohei Ohtani, as the offense scored only one run in their 4-1 loss to the Athletics.
Ironically, the Halos actually had more hits than Oakland, but it didn’t matter. The Angels were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded seven runners on base. Whenever they had a chance to put some runs on the board, the bats when quiet.
David Fletcher led off the first inning with a double, beginning a new hitting streak at one game. With him standing at second and nobody out, the Angels went 0-for-3 to strand him there to end the inning.
