The Los Angeles Angels are hitting an all-time low. Monday night’s game between the Texas Rangers and the Angels saw Phil Nevin’s side suffer a shutout loss.

Max Scherzer recorded his third win in three starts for the Rangers, who downed the Angels 12-0. He allowed only one infield single and one walk while striking out 11 in a span of seven innings.

Marcus Semien’s two hits, five RBIs, and a three-run homer during the seventh inning of the game gave the Rangers firm control of proceedings.

Angels manager Phil Nevin did not take the loss too well and was seen venting at his players in the dugout.

The Texas Rangers currently hold a 71-48 record, which is the franchise’s best through 119 games. The Los Angeles Angles, on the other hand, are sitting with a 59-61 record. Phil Nevin’s side is currently two games below .500.

Angels’ two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani registered his 41st homer of the season during the team’s 2-1 victory against the Houston Astros on Sunday. The team’s ace took a day off on Monday due to arm fatigue.

Nevin expects Ohtani to be back in action on Tuesday or on Wednesday when the team goes up against the Cincinnati Reds.

However, Mike Trout has been injured since July 3 due to a fractured left hamate bone. There is no news of him returning as of yet, but Nevin hopes to get him started soon to face live pitching after Trout began swinging against a machine last Friday.
