Los Angeles Angels set MLB record for late-inning losses

The Los Angeles Angels recorded their 22nd loss of the season after leading or being tied entering the ninth inning. This mark represents the highest total for such losses before September in Major League Baseball history. During a weekend series at Angel Stadium, the Philadelphia Phillies contributed to this record by securing two comeback victories. On Friday, Edmundo Sosa hit a pinch-hit grand slam in the ninth inning to overcome a 3-1 deficit for a 5-3 win. The following night, the teams entered the ninth inning tied 1-1 before Philadelphia pulled ahead in the 10th inning for a 4-2 victory. The Angels have now tied the 2012 Brewers and 1978 Mets for the most losses in league history after entering the ninth inning with a lead.
