Two weeks ago, the Los Angeles Angels were on top of the world. They had the best record in the AL West. Mike Trout was healthy and playing at the level we’ve come to expect. Shohei Ohtani had gotten off to a rocky start on the mound, but he’d lowered his ERA to an incredible 2.82 after his May 18 start against Texas. There were certainly areas to improve, but after years of wasting Trout and Ohtani, the Angels were finally starting to look like contenders.<\/p>\n

Then Trout suffered through the longest hitless streak of his career, Ohtani had two consecutive starts giving up four or more earned runs, Anthony Rendon and Taylor Ward both suffered injuries, and the Angels suffered a 12-game losing streak. <\/p>\n
