The Los Angeles Angels are in the middle of a lengthy losing streak and were willing to try anything last night (June 9) against the Boston Red Sox to break it.
Enter Nickelback.
In an effort to break their 13-game losing streak (which Yahoo! Sports noted is a franchise record), the Angels decided their entire batting lineup last night would walk to the plate to a different Nickelback song. ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez noted the song choices via Twitter:
OK, I have the song list ...

Ohtani: "Photograph"
Adell: "Rockstar"
Walsh: "How You Remind Me"
Duffy: "Someday"
Lagares: "If Today Was Your Last Day"
Marsh: "When We Stand Together"
Mayfield: "What Are You Waiting For?"
Suzuki: "This Afternoon"
Wade: "Animals"
Unfortunately, the stunt didn’t work. The Angels were shut out 1-0 by the Red Sox and extended their losing streak to 14 games. Even in a loss, at least the Angels’ social media team had a bit of a sense of humor about it.
