Angels Tie MLB Record After Striking Out 20 Times vs. Astros

The Angels were swept in a three-game series at Houston on Sunday, and in the process made a bit of dubious history.

Los Angeles hitters struck out 20 times against Astros pitchers, tying the record for the most in a nine-inning game in MLB history. The Angels are the eighth team to reach that mark, and the first since the Tigers on May 28, 2019.

Angels hitters swung at 55 pitches during the game and whiffed 25 times. All 12 batters who made at least one plate appearance struck out at least once, with seven players striking out multiple times.
