Angels' Struggles at Bat


The Angels struggled offensively throughout most of the game, managing only four hits against Baltimore's pitching staff. The Halos were unable to capitalize on their opportunities with runners in scoring position, leaving seven men on base and failing to score until late in the seventh inning.


Jordon Adell stood out among his teammates with an impressive batting average of .667 from three at-bats. However, despite his efforts and those of Luis Rengifo who maintained a .333 average with an OPS of 1.0, they couldn't turn their individual performances into runs for their team.
