The LA Angels have struggled in the past week winning only one out of seven games during that time period. Four of those six losses were by two runs or less and three of them were due in large part to the bullpen being depleted and ineffective.
Luke Bard gave up a tack-on run in the seventh on Saturday night that proved to be the difference in the game as the Angels lost a one-run decision. The two previous nights the Angels closer Cody Allen was touched for 9th inning runs which cost the Angels the game both nights.
