ANAHEIM, Calif. — Despite all of the encouraging numbers produced by the Angels, there is at least one troubling number that was highlighted during their 4-2 loss to the Oakland A’s on Friday night.
The Angels have been called out on strikes 116 times, the most in the majors. They looked at seven third strikes among their 13 strikeouts on Friday, on their way to a fourth consecutive loss.
Further adding to their issues, Taylor Ward left the game after running into the right field fence making a catch in the ninth inning. There was no immediate word on the nature or severity of his injury.
