Los Angeles Angels Edge Athletics 4-3 to Avoid Sweep

Jo Adell smashed his 35th home run of the season and Travis d’Arnaud delivered a decisive RBI double in the eighth inning as the Los Angeles Angels pulled out a 4-3 win over the Athletics, avoiding a three-game sweep in Anaheim.

Angels Capitalize Late to Secure Victory

Chris Taylor ignited the Angels' late rally by drawing a one-out walk from A’s reliever Osvaldo Bido in the eighth inning. Oswald Peraza was then hit by a pitch—the fifth Angels batter to be hit in the game, setting a new franchise record.

After coming in for injured catcher Logan O’Hoppe in the seventh, d’Arnaud came through with a clutch ground-rule double to right-center, putting the Angels ahead 4-3.

Pitching Performances

Reid Detmers picked up his fifth win of the season, despite allowing a run in the eighth. Kenley Jansen closed the door in the ninth, retiring the side in order for his 26th save. Left-hander Mitch Farris, in just his second MLB start, held the Athletics to two runs and three hits over six innings.

Athletics starter Luis Severino gave up three runs on four hits across five innings on the mound.

Injury Notes

Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe left the game in the seventh after A's shortstop Jacob Wilson accidentally struck him on the chin with his bat during a warm-up swing.

Key Moment

In the seventh inning, with two runners on and one out, A’s pinch-hitter Carlos Cortes grounded into a 4-6-3 double play started by Taylor, helping the Angels maintain their 3-2 lead at the time.
