In a dramatic turn of events, the Philadelphia Phillies overcame the Los Angeles Angels with a final score of 7-5, extending their winning streak to five games. The game, held in Anaheim, saw the Phillies trailing until the ninth inning when Nick Castellanos hit a game-tying solo home run, followed by Johan Rojas's two-run homer, which ultimately secured their victory. This win was particularly significant as it broke the Angels' four-game losing streak and brought their record to 11-18. Notably, the Angels had managed to score two crucial runs on a wild pitch and a throwing error in the seventh inning, which initially gave them a lead. The game featured strong performances, including multiple hits from Ward, Drury, Adrianza, and Neto of the Angels, and a save by Carlos Estévez, despite his struggles in the ninth inning.
