Frustrations continue as Rangers drop homestand finale series to Angels

It's been a frustrating season for the Texas Rangers so far, but “frustrating” probably doesn't even begin to describe the most recent three series. First, it was being swept by the worst team in baseball, the Colorado Rockies. Then, after losing two of three to the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians, they welcomed the last place team from their own division – Ron Washington's Los Angeles Angels – into their house only to sleepwalk through the weekend and lose another series. An Angels team without Mike Trout, without Shohei Ohtani, without much of a shred of hope to be in contention by the time the All-Star Break rolls around, looked like a great chance to get some momentum back on their side.
