Angels fail to capitalize on chances and bullpen implodes in loss to Nationals
Briefly

At the halfway point of the 2025 season, the Los Angeles Angels face organizational uncertainty as General Manager Perry Minasian confirms manager Ron Washington will not return this season due to health issues. Interim manager Ray Montgomery takes over with the team performing better than last season, sitting at .500 and just two games from a wild card spot. However, in a recent game against the Washington Nationals, the Angels lost 15-9, struggling especially to capitalize on scoring opportunities, which has been a critical point in their performance this season.
In the sixth and seventh innings, the Angels had opportunities to take the lead or tie the game with runners in scoring position, but failed to capitalize.
The Angels, albeit squarely in contention at .500, were dealing with a bit of organizational uncertainty as manager Ron Washington faces ongoing health issues.
Despite losing 15-9 to the Nationals, the Angels still remain just two games out of the third American League wild card spot.
Jo Adell struck a 92-mph fastball high and away to right field for a solo home run - his 18th overall and 11th in June.
