News and Notes: Bad Team Loses to Bad Team in Anaheim

The Guardians started Myles Straw and Cam Gallagher again, and lost a game, again, 8-2 to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Lucas Giolito gave up only 4 hits in 7 innings... 3 of those hits were home runs including 1 to Brett Phillips.

Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor both hit home runs for the Guardians, which was nice.

Zack Meisel wrote a eulogy on the Guardians’ season which is worth reading if you have the Athletic subscription.
