Angels record first-ever 100-loss season

sportsSep 27, 202616165

The Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 in the regular-season finale as Logan Gilbert struck out eight over four no-hit innings and Seattle pitchers combined for 12 strikeouts. The loss left the Angels with a 62-100 record, the first 100-loss season in franchise history and the end of a 10-game slide. Seattle took a 1-0 lead in the second when Weston Wilson drove in Cole Young, then added two runs in the third on a Cal Raleigh RBI single and a Josh Naylor groundout. Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi (1-7) allowed three runs on six hits in five innings with seven strikeouts. The Mariners pushed the lead to 6-1 in the sixth after an Angels throwing error and a two-run double by Randy Arozarena; Jose Siri hit a two-run homer for the Angels in the eighth. Eduard Bazardo (4-4) earned the win and Cooper Criswell closed the ninth; Gilbert left to a standing ovation after walking Moises Ballesteros to open the fifth.

I still can't believe what happened this season! Will be leaving school ASAP on Tuesday and Wednesday to watch them play the Astros.

The Mariners win. They close out this disappointing 2026 with a victory, handing the Angels their 100th loss of the season. Rick Rizzs calls a win in his final game. Anaheim Angels 3 - 7 @mariners.com FINAL #TridentsUp #SeattleMariners

also I am very invested in the idea of handing the Angels a 100-loss season so I do care about seeing the Mariners win tomorrow 🫠

Mike Trout’s 142 games played were his most since 2016 as the Angels lose 100 games for the first time in franchise history. They were the only remaining franchise without a 100-loss season

It comes down to this: the Angels have to win their last game of the season to avoid losing their distinction as the only MLB team to never have a 100-loss season.

The Arte Moreno era is officially over in Anaheim. A 100-loss season, the first in franchise history, to cap a dreadful last 15 years of Angels baseball. Inherited a winner in 2003, rode a stocked farm system to a few AL West titles, and then destroyed everything soon after.

The Los Angeles Angels have just endured the first hundred-loss season in the history of the franchise.

The #LAAngels record their first 100 loss season in franchise history. Thank you Arte for your machinations and dedication in reaching this capstone of failure during your ownership tenure. I hope you get a papercut from each of the dollar bills you’re paid as you are relegated to baseball infamy.

Setting aside the season's disappointments, the Mariners can go out on a strong note today, send Rizzs off into retirement with a win and hand the Angels their first 100-loss season. Goms

It’s fitting that the first 100 loss season in Angels history came in the final year of Arte Moreno’s tenure. Honestly, they were a few wins better this year than I predicted. Brighter days ahead for Angel fans. #Angels #ReptheHalo
