Angels hit a wall: Streaking Royals complete series sweep

Talk about a buzz-kill...
After winning nine straight series and finishing off that run with a series sweep of the Pirates, the Angels returned home, where they had the best record in the league (Milwaukee now has the best home record by half a game), and proceeded to get swept by the last place team in the AL. And they didn't just get swept. The Royals, winners of four straight, beat them down by a series score of 18-7. The Angels hadn't been swept at home since Seattle won three straight in June of last season.
The Angels had matched a franchise record winning nine consecutive series. You'd think the record setting 10th was a given, but the Angels ran into a brick wall.
