You cannot lose a game like this if you’re the Los Angeles Angels, not when leading 6-2 in the eighth inning, not while coming off losing three of four to Seattle, not when your team is struggling and staring at a second straight disastrous April.
The Angels did lose to the Oakland A’s, when Brandon Moss’ two-run walk-off homer in the 19th inning gave the A’s the dramatic 10-8 victory in a game that lasted 392 minutes and required 597 pitches to compete. It might end up being the game of the year. The painful defeat dropped the Angels to 9-16. They’re already 7 games behind the Rangers and 5 games behind the A’s in the AL West, and you have to wonder if long-time manager Mike Scioscia will survive much longer.
