The Angels showcased an impressive offensive display, starting strong with a run in the first inning followed by two more runs in both the second and third innings. Their momentum continued into the fourth inning where they added another two runs. The team's batting average was an outstanding .344 for this game, and they managed to leave only four runners on base. A key highlight was their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities, hitting .500 with runners in scoring position.


Griffin Canning emerged as a pivotal player for the Angels, securing his first win of the season while holding down his role as starting pitcher. The bullpen also contributed significantly; Luis García achieved his second hold of the season and Carlos Estévez notched his fourth save despite having one blown save previously.

On defense, Los Angeles maintained a perfect fielding percentage (1.0), handling all plays without committing any errors throughout nine innings. This defensive solidity complemented their offensive prowess well.


The Baltimore Orioles did put up resistance during this contest, particularly in the fifth inning when they scored three runs off four hits but could not maintain that pace against a determined Angels side. Grayson Rodriguez took home his first loss for Baltimore despite having three wins already under his belt this season.
