The Los Angeles Angels mounted a significant comeback against the Houston Astros, overturning a 6-1 deficit to lead 8-6 by the fifth inning. The rally was highlighted by back-to-back home runs from Logan O'Hoppe and Jo Adell. O'Hoppe's three-run homer and Adell's solo shot came off Astros pitcher Framber Valdez, who struggled significantly in the inning. Nolan Schanuel also contributed with a three-run homer, his first career homer off a left-handed pitcher. Valdez's performance marked one of the worst innings of his career, allowing a total of seven runs in the fifth inning. Jo Adell's homer was his 9th of the season, and he is now slugging .800 against left-handed pitchers, the best in MLB. Reid Detmers of the Angels allowed six runs on eight hits before being replaced by José Suarez.
A brutal beat for Astros F5 bettors 😬 https://t.co/ay5gA7SUW8
Jo Adell goes deep for the 9th time this season. He is now slugging .800 against LHP this season, best in MLB. #RepTheHalo https://t.co/StbnyI5sLA

LOGAN O’HOPPE AND JO ADELL GO BACK TO BACK FOR THE LEAD!!! The Astros were up 6-1 and find themselves down 8-6 🤯 https://t.co/wcKush1pyx
We’re witnessing the worst inning of Framber Valdez’s career. Began the 5th with a 6-1 lead. After a pair of 3-run HRs and a solo shot, Angels lead 8-6. This is just pathetic pitching by Framber. He made the Angels look like the Dodgers or Yankees. Just horrendous.
Logan O'Hoppe and Jo Adell go back-to-back and the @Angels take the lead in Houston! https://t.co/o0q2NOMU2Z
José Suarez is in for the fifth inning. Reid Detmers allowed six runs on eight hits (two homers) and a walk with three strikeouts. #Angels up 8-6.
Astros manager Joe Espada let’s Framber Valdez implode in fifth inning, a 7 run inning and now Angels lead 8-6
The Angels are absolutely destroying Framber Valdez. What a sight. Everything is getting absolutely crushed.

3-run homers by Schanuel and O'Hoppe -- household names -- off Framber Valdez in the fifth put the Angels ahead, 7-6. Then Jo Adell homers for an 8-6 lead. Valdez has fallen apart here.
Nolan Schanuel with a three-run homer off Framber Valdez and the #Angels are down 6-4 in the fifth. It's his fifth homer of the year and his first career homer off a lefty.
