Story summary

The Los Angeles Angels reached a historic low on Sunday by losing their final game of the season to the Seattle Mariners, marking their first 100-loss season since the franchise's founding. With a record of 62-100, the Angels became the last MLB team to reach this mark after evading it for 65 years. Interim General Manager John Mozeliak had dismantled much of the roster earlier in the year, trading away several fan favorites including Taylor Ward and Jo Adell. Manager Kurt Suzuki's first season ended grimly as star player Mike Trout watched from the dugout on his scheduled day off. Despite a brief 5-4 stretch in their final nine games, the Angels could not avoid setting this unwanted record.
