Angels fans were left furious on Saturday night by an embarrassing stadium mishap following an opponent’s home run.
The Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suarez hit his second home run of the night in the fourth inning to give the visitors a 2-1 lead.
And the solo shot was surprisingly followed by fireworks being let off at Angel Stadium – a celebration usually reserved for home players.
Fans loudly booed the mistake as Suarez rounded the bases, and had a ton of criticism followed online as well.
‘Someone’s getting fired,’ one replied on X to The Athletic’s Sam Blum.
‘These idiots can’t do anything right,’ another said.

And a third joked: ‘They are scheduling a Eugenio Suarez bobble head night at the moment. It’ll sell some tickets.’
Despite the unfortunate moment, the Angels went on to win 10-5 as Mike Trout gave fans a home run to celebrate in the fifth inning.
The future Hall of Famer sent the ball 373 feet out of right-center field and posted four RBIs on the night.
The Angels are 47-48 this season as they seek their first playoff appearance since 2014.
Suarez, meanwhile, now has 31 home runs before the All-Star Break.
He was surprisingly snubbed from the Home Run Derby, though he was selected to represent the National League in the All-Star Game.
The game will take place on Tuesday at Truist Park in Atlanta.
