ANAHEIM, Calif. — The optimism of a change in the Angels’ manager’s office eventually gave way to more frustration, in the form of a franchise-record 13th consecutive loss and an injury to Mike Trout.
Phil Nevin’s debut as the Angels’ interim manager ended with a 6-5, 10-inning loss to the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.
Trout came out with left groin tightness in the third inning, long before the Angels suffered another gut-wrenching loss to add to the pile that cost Joe Maddon his job as manager earlier in the day.
