The Angels were off Thursday and Los Angeles lost its last outing Wednesday 4-3 to the Cleveland Indians. The loss was the Angels fourth straight and they were swept in the three-game series by the Indians. The Angels played without star Mike Trout and his return to the lineup could be Friday. Kole Calhoun homered as well in the loss.
