The Rangers went into Anaheim needing to win three of four to give themselves some momentum for a bona fide playoff run. The Angels, as a reminder, had the worst record in baseball. 

Texas ended up winning one of four. The Angels, as a reminder, had the worst record in baseball.

Texas ended their schedule in Los Angeles by going 1-6 against the Angels in Anaheim this season. The Angels, as a reminder, had the worst record in baseball. 

Jacob deGrom had his worst start of the season, going just two innings, and came out of the game with a possible injury. While he gave up only two runs, it was more because the Angels let him off hook. He threw 53 pitches in those two innings, struggling to find the plate or find his command, allowing six hit and walking two. The Angels, as a reminder, had the worst record in baseball. 

Jordan Montgomery pitched two innings as well. He gave up four runs on six hits, putting the game out of reach. The Angels, as a reminder, had the worst record in baseball.

It’s hard to see this team turning it on and making a serious run at a wildcard slot when they cannot even play well against the worst team in baseball. Now Texas goes to Sacramento for three against the Athletics who, thanks to the Angels winning three of four against the Rangers, now have the worst record in baseball.
