ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Angels’ 9-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon will likely rank pretty high on the list of the most frustrating games of their season.
After taking an early three-run lead, the Angels gave up six runs in the third inning, mostly on ground balls and bloopers.
The pitching settled down after that to give the Angels a chance to get back in the game, but it was too late. An Angels lineup that produced five runs in the first three innings came up empty until Shohei Ohtani’s two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth, which only cut the deficit in half.
