Angels fall to Rays 5-3 for fifth consecutive loss

The joy of Shohei Ohtani, the greatness of Mike Trout, the wizardry of Andrelton Simmons, the pop of Justin Upton, the records of Albert Pujols. It all adds up to a pretty compelling team, and the promise of a pretty special summer.

It is not just that the Angels cannot win. They lost their fifth consecutive game, this one 5-3 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. They got six hits in a game the Rays did not even start a starting pitcher.

They have scored 10 runs in their last five games. They won their previous two games, each 2-1.
