• Angels waste early opportunities and get blown out late in loss to Astros

  25-08-2019 23:23 via ocregister.com
  
  HOUSTON — By the time the Angels’ 11-2 loss to the Houston Astros on Sunday was over, it had become so lopsided that it was easy to forget how well Jaime Barria had pitched or how much a timely hit or two by the Angels early could have changed the game.
  Instead, it ended up as an embarrassing loss, the third straight against the Astros and sixth in seven games on this two-city trip through Texas.
  Barría held the Astros to two runs in 5-1/3 innings, but came out of the game tra

  CARSON — Chargers coach Anthony Lynn has been aggressive on fourth downs this preseason because he wants to see how his team responds in those all-in situations.
  They haven’t gotten the job done, to use Lynn’s words after the Chargers’ 23-15 loss Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks at Dignity Health Sports Park.
  But rookie quarterback Easton Stick got the job done for his fourth-down test. Stick connected with Jordan Smallwood to convert on a fourth-and-8 that put the C

  This past week a direct attack on Proposition 13 was resoundingly voted down by the California State Assembly.
