The Los Angeles Angels secured a dramatic 9-7 victory over the Houston Astros, overcoming a 6-1 deficit with a seven-run fifth inning. Key contributions came from Nolan Schanuel, Logan O'Hoppe, and Jo Adell, who each hit home runs. Schanuel's three-run homer and O'Hoppe's three-run homer were pivotal in the comeback, while Adell added a solo shot and made a crucial home run-robbing catch in the ninth inning. Reid Detmers struggled, allowing six earned runs over four innings, but the Angels' bullpen held firm. The win marks the Angels' fourth in their last five games and highlights their young talent, as they became the first team in MLB history to have players aged 22, 23, 24, and 25 each hit a home run in the same game. The Astros' pitcher Framber Valdez allowed seven runs in the fifth inning, marking Houston's largest blown lead of the season.
