The Los Angeles Angels are turning to Chad Kroeger of their time of want.

For Wednesday’s sport at residence in opposition to the Boston Purple Sox, the struggling Angels — who lately fired supervisor Joe Maddon amid a 12-game dropping streak — opted to stroll as much as a group of Nickelback songs, and sure, you learn that appropriately.

ESPN baseball reporter Alden González shared the set checklist Wednesday on Twitter, revealing that pitcher Shohei Ohtani chosen the 2005 single “Photograph,” whereas third baseman Matt Duffy selected 2003’s “Sometime.”

The Kroeger-fronted “Hero” from the 2002 “Spider-Man” soundtrack wasn’t a part of the setlist, which, as González identified, is “what the Angels actually need” amid the droop.

OK, I've the music checklist …

Ohtani: "Photograph"
Adell: "Rockstar"
Walsh: "How You Remind Me"
Duffy: "Sometime"
Lagares: "If Right now Was Your Final Day"
Marsh: "When We Stand Collectively"
Mayfield: "What Are You Ready For?"
Suzuki: "This Afternoon"
Wade: "Animals"
