The Angels suffered a devastating 7-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox, capping off a record-breaking season with a franchise-high 96 losses. Despite facing a struggling White Sox team, the Angels were unable to secure a win in the three-game series, with the White Sox sweeping only their second series of the season. Adding to the Angels’ woes, shortstop Zach Neto left the game with a shoulder injury, further diminishing their chances of a comeback.
Left-hander Tyler Anderson struggled in the fifth inning, allowing seven runs to the White Sox, marking their season high. Anderson, who finished the season with a 3.81 ERA in 31 starts, saw a decline in performance in his final eight starts. While his numbers were respectable, there was potential for a stronger season if not for his late-season struggles.
The Angels’ disappointing season comes to a close with no silver lining in sight, as they failed to live up to expectations and fell short of their goals. With the franchise now holding a record for the most losses in a season, it is clear that changes will be needed to turn the team around in the future. Stay tuned for more updates on the Angels’ offseason plans and preparations for the next season.
