Angels Shut Out by White Sox in Chicago, Seek Redemption at Angel Stadium
In a recent faceoff at Guaranteed Rate Field, the Los Angeles Angels were unable to secure a win against the Chicago White Sox, culminating in a 0-7 loss. This game brought the Angels' season record to 63-96, while the White Sox improved to 39-120. Despite their efforts, the Angels struggled offensively throughout the game, managing only six hits and committing one error.
Angels' Offensive Struggle
The Angels' performance at bat was less than stellar, with a team batting average of .194 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .242 for this game. The team's inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities was evident as they left six runners on base and had zero runs batted in (RBIs). Notably, Eric Wagaman and Zachary Neto each hit .500 during the game but their contributions weren't enough to ignite a rally for the Angels. The team also struggled with runners in scoring position (RISP), achieving no hits from four attempts.
Pitching Efforts Overshadowed
On the mound, Tyler Anderson started for the Angels but faced challenges early on. Anderson ended his outing with an earned run average (ERA) of 8.308 over 4.1 innings pitched, allowing five runs—four earned—and striking out two batters. The bullpen attempted to stem the tide with Kenneth Rosenberg delivering an ERA of 0.00 across his appearance but ultimately couldn't counteract the offensive surge from Chicago in the fifth inning where they scored all seven runs.
