Triple play trips up Dodgers; the Angels are fallen once again

The Los Angeles Dodgers – facing the team that trails them by three games in the National League West fell behind 4-1 early Tuesday night and rallied in the bottom of the ninth to score one run with three singles.

But it all ended when Miguel Rojas hit into a triple play for a 4-2 San Diego Padres win. That moves them within two games of the Blue Crew with two more games to play in the series. The play was challenged but upheld.

The Los Angeles Angels are about to make history … and not in a good way.

After a 3-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox in the Windy City Tuesday night, the Halos are 63-94 with five games remaining to play. The team’s winning percentage is .401, and unless the team wins at least four of those games, they’ll finish with the worst full-season record in team history.

The old record was set in 1980, when they lost 95 games and posted a .406 won-lost percentage 

The defeat was in classic Angel-style. A scoreless game turned into a 2-0 lead after seven and a half runs. But in the bottom of the eighth, the Chisox – on their way to having the worst record in Major League Baseball history – rallied with three runs in the bottom of the eighth.

Andrew Benintendi singled in the winning run with two outs.
