Angels fans’ ‘tarps off’ cheer helps team break 106-game streak against Cardinals
The Los Angeles Angels ended a 106-game losing streak in games where they trailed in the ninth inning, securing a walk-off victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. The win was notable not just for breaking such a long run of late-game losses, but also for the role fans played, with a fan-driven cheer helping spur the team on during the decisive rally.
The turnaround was tied to the "tarps off" cheer, a chant that has grown into a popular fixture among Angels supporters and was credited with lifting the team during the ninth-inning comeback. According to ESPN, it marked the first time in 106 games that the Angels had won after trailing that late, underlining just how rare Monday's result was for the struggling franchise.
