Angels struggle in 6-1 loss to Orioles, former players shine

Summary

The Los Angeles Angels lost 6-1 to the Baltimore Orioles in the series opener on June 22, 2026. Former Angels outfielder Taylor Ward hit a leadoff home run and former pitcher Kyle Bradish struck out nine in eight scoreless innings. The trade history surrounding these players has raised concerns, as the Angels did not receive much in return for Ward, who was traded in November, and Bradish was part of a deal in December 2019. Injured starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez, acquired for Ward, currently has an 8.06 ERA this season.
