The Los Angeles Angels got walloped by the Houston Astros, 14-3, on Friday night, moving to 8-5 on the year.

The bad news didn't end there as one of the Halos' most productive relievers was moved to the injured list. Both he and manager Ron Washington assumed he was just having an off day, but it will now require an extended absence.

The relief pitcher who was called up in the midst of the IL stint revealed just how close he was to calling it quits in regard to his professional baseball aspirations. Luckily, he had a community of people telling him to stay the course which has now resulted in his first taste of MLB action.

Finally, if it seems like the Angels have been playing an excessive amount of games away from home lately, it's because it 100 percent is. The kind of schedule the Halos have been playing hasn't been seen by a major league team since 1957.
