Runs have been hard to come by for the Angels since returning from the All-Star break.
The Angels are averaging a measly 2.5 runs per game post-All-Star break, and the struggles continued on Wednesday night, as they only mustered four hits in their 5-2 loss against the Orioles in Baltimore.
Jose Siri's solo home run in the sixth inning and Wade Meckler's RBI single in the seventh were the only runs that the Angels' bats could get across the plate.
The only other players to even reach base were Travis d'Arnaud and Nolan Schanuel. d'Arnaud weakly hit a ground ball up the middle that became a hit by bouncing off the second base bag and into center field out of the reach of Jackson Holiday and Schanuel hit a grounder in the three-four hole that Pete Alonso couldn't field cleanly. Schanuel eventually scored on Meckler's single.
Heading into play on Wednesday, the Angels were slashing .224/.303/.318 with a .620 OPS and a 26.8% strikeout rate. The slugging percentage, OPS and strikeout rate all rank as the worst in baseball in that stretch.
