Simmons’ error haunts Angels in 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay

ANAHEIM – The Angels found a new way to lose Saturday night.

The Angels lost, 4-2, to the Tampa Bay Rays after a throw by Andrelton Simmons hit Steven Souza, costing them an out in the decisive ninth inning.

Souza had led off the inning with a single against Joe Smith. Souza then tried to steal but the Angels had him dead at second, so Souza slammed on the brakes and ran back to first.

Simmons, a two-time Gold Glove shortstop with an exceptionally strong and accurate arm, hit Souza with his throw back to first.
