Angels succumb to Orioles' power, securing a slender win
Alright, the Orioles managed to edge the Angels 6-5 in a gripping contest on Saturday. Cedric Mullins and Gary Sánchez were the main protagonists, with their back-to-back home runs turning the tide.
Mullins demonstrated his power-hitting prowess with his 11th homerun, a clutch two-run shot off Angels starter Tyler Anderson. This soaring blast in the sixth inning gave the Orioles a 6-4 lead – a crucial moment in the game's outcome.
Sánchez followed suit with his inaugural home run for the Orioles. His smash propelled the Orioles to an insurmountable 6-4 lead. Remarkably, Mullins has been instrumental in three of the Orioles' six back-to-back homers this season[2][3].
Félix Bautista powerfully sealed the deal for the O's, denying the Angels a comeback by pitching a hitless ninth inning. Striking 100 mph on a fastball against Mike Trout before a flyout, Bautista displayed his electrifying swiftness[1][2][3].
The Angels initially took a 2-0 lead in the first thanks to a homerun from Trout, his 11th of the season and the 389th of his career. But Luis Rengifo retaliated with a series of solo homers, homering from both sides after entering the game with just one on his season tally.
Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg had crucial RBI singles in the third, boosting the Orioles to a 3-2 lead[1].
Los Angeles' Wade Miley chose to remain tight-lipped about controversies concerning his alleged role in the death of former Angels' pitcher Tyler Skaggs[4].
Next up, the Angels hope to prevent a sweep in the series finale. LHP Yusei Kikuchi (2-5, 2.92) will take to the mound for the Angels, while Orioles LHP Cade Povich (1-5, 5.46) will be on the opposing side.
