The Los Angeles Angels are facing a tough time as they have lost two consecutive games to the Baltimore Orioles, leaving their clubhouse in disarray. The team suffered an 11-3 loss in their season opener against the Orioles and then followed it up with a 9-run loss in the second game. This poor performance led to the franchise allowing a record-setting 24 runs in just two games.
The Angels’ struggles on both the pitching and hitting fronts prompted new manager Ron Washington to call an emergency team meeting. Washington emphasized the importance of focusing on the long 162-game championship season, despite the disappointing start to the season. The Angels responded well to this meeting and managed to salvage their series with a 4-1 victory over the Orioles in their final game.
Key offensive contributions from players like Taylor Ward helped boost their performance and morale, and now they head to Miami for a series against the Marlins with hopes of building on their latest win and turning their season around. Despite their slow start, there is still ample time for improvement before they face off against Boston Red Sox for their home opener.
