BALTIMORE -- Before the Los Angeles Angels could formally reach the conclusion of a horribly disappointing first half, they found one more unsettling way to lose.Joe Smith let in the tying run with an exasperating balk, and the Angels blew a late lead against Baltimore in a 3-2 defeat that ended their four-game winning streak.Angels starter Nick Tropeano gave up one run and five hits in six innings, striking out eight. He left with a 2-1 lead, but the bullpen promptly gave it away.After the Orioles got runners to second and third in the seventh against JC Ramirez, Smith (1-4) came in and immediately dropped the ball from the set position for a balk, enabling Jonathan Schoop to trot home.I just messed up. Dont know how to sum up, Smith said. Thats the most embarrassing moment Ive had on a baseball field. It was 100 percent my fault.In the eighth, Manny Machado and Chris Davis singled before Schoop lined a single to center to bring in the go-ahead run.Smith took the loss, but many others deserved some of the blame. The Angels stranded seven, went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position and twice were caught trying to steal.A lot of things added up to us not being on the right side of this game, manager Mike Scioscia said. We had some opportunities to break the game open. Obviously, there is going to be a spotlight on the balk. There were a lot of things that led up to that.The Angels (37-51) are assured of reaching the All-Star break in the cellar for the first time 1999.Its always frustrating when you lose, regardless of how you do, left fielder Daniel Nava said. Its been a grind. Sometimes were putting up runs and out pitchers are putting together good starts for us. Its frustrating because we know we are a pretty good offense and weve been trying to put that together with good pitching.Mark Trumbo hit his major league leading 28th home run for Baltimore, a solo shot in the second inning. It was the Orioles 135th homer of the season, their most before the break.Brad Brach (6-1) worked the eighth and Zach Britton finished for his 26th save. Both relievers are going to the All-Star Game.Limited to three hits over the first five innings, Los Angeles erased a 1-0 deficit in the sixth. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases for Nava, who ripped a two-run single off the right-field scoreboard.Mychal Givens replaced Yovani Gallardo and pitched out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam. In the seventh, Givens struck out Mike Trout with two outs and a runner on third.One of the games finest defensive plays occurred in the fifth inning. After Jett Bandy hit a liner off the wall in left-center, Adam Jones barehanded the carom and zipped a throw to second base for the out. Andrelton Simmons followed with an inconsequential single.STREAKYAngels: Simmons extended his hitting streak to 11 games. ... Yunel Escobars hitting streak ended at 13 games.Orioles: Brach extended his scoreless streak to 10 games and 12 2/3 innings. ... Schoop has hit safely in eight straight games and 19 of his last 20.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: C.J. Cron was placed on the DL late Friday with a fractured left hand, so Ji-Man Choi and Jefry Marte will split time at 1B, Scioscia said.Orioles: Setup man Darren ODay (right hamstring strain) will throw on flat ground Sunday. There is no timetable for his return. We need to get him back, manager Buck Showalter said. He completes the bullpen.UP NEXTAngels: Tim Lincecum (1-2, 7.50 ERA) wraps up the first half Sunday by making his fifth start since signing with LA on May 20.Orioles: Chris Tillman (11-2, 3.55) can surpass his win total of the 2015 season with a victory in the series finale.

He was released by Atlanta late in spring training and signed a minor league contract with the New York Yankees in April.Swisher and his wife, JoAnna, recently welcomed their second daughter, Sailor Stevie.I dont think we would have signed him if we didnt want to take a look at him, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before New York played at San Diego.
