Luis Rengifo, the Angels' second baseman, has been a revelation. Over his last three games, Rengifo's bat has been on fire, boasting an impressive .500 average in one game and maintaining a .250 average across all games. His ability to drive in runs and maintain a consistent on-base percentage has provided the Angels with much-needed stability in their lineup.


On the pitching side for the Angels, Reid Detmers showcased his skills with an ERA of 5.4 and striking out 14.4 batters per nine innings in one of his starts, indicating his potential to dominate any lineup when he's at his best. Adam Cimber, despite struggling with an ERA of 54.0 in one appearance, has shown resilience and could be a key figure in tight situations.

Judge hit .500 with a home run and two RBIs in one game, contributing significantly to his team's efforts.
