FINAL: The Angels lose 5-3 to the Astros. Samuel Aldegheri had a very bad start. The Angels offense mustered three hits. The Angels are 60-87, and need to go 7-8 to avoid the worst season in franchise history.

Both Zach Neto and Jordyn Adams forgot how many outs there were at different points in the game. So manager Ron Washington said he addressed it to the whole team in the dugout.

A quick recovery for first round pick Christian Moore (meniscus). This opens up the possibility for a very late season big league call-up.

FINAL: The Angels lost 5-3 to the Astros. LAA is now 60-88. They will need to go 7-7 the rest of the way to avoid having the worst record in franchise history.

The Angels may well reach 66 players in a season for the third straight year. If Campero appears in a game, he’ll be No. 64. Using that many players is a reflection of injuries, yes. But also a lack of organizational depth.

Ben Joyce said his MRI only showed inflammation in his shoulder. He isn’t throwing yet, but still hopes to pitch this year.

Caden Dana's last two starts combined: 13 outs recorded, 16 batters reached base. And his last two starts will be against the same teams (Astros, Rangers) that already hit him hard.

FINAL: The Angels lost again. This time 6-4 to the Astros, and they were swept. Caden Dana was very hittable again. They are a disastrous 60-89 — matching the loss total of the last two seasons. They'll need to go 7-6 to avoid the worst season in franchise history.

Get excited everyone. It's Halos and White Sox. First pitch at 6:38 p.m. PT. And you, ladies and gentlemen, can watch for FREE.

FINAL: The Angels are crushed 8-4 by the awful White Sox. The Angels are 60-90. They'll need to go 7-5 to avoid their worst season ever. And, gulp, 3-9 to avoid 100 losses. It's ugly in Anaheim.
