Angels' Bullpen Collapses Again, Lose to Mets

Angels starter Walbert Urena left the game in the sixth inning after taking a 103-mph line drive off his shin, but the bullpen ultimately fell apart in his absence. The Angels bullpen allowed three earned runs in four innings to extend their losing streak to seven games.

Manager Kurt Suzuki stated Ureña was removed as a precaution and is expected to be fine, though the bullpen's struggles are mounting. With a season ERA of 5.69 and 28 earned runs in their last 28 1/3 innings, reliever Brent Suter emphasized the team must keep "warrior effort" and stay the course despite the heavy skid. amunra.qpon
