First Inning

The game began with both teams showing strong defensive plays. The Angels managed to get one hit but were unable to convert it into runs. Meanwhile, the ‘Stros also struggled against José Soriano's pitching prowess, as he kept them scoreless in their first attempt.

Second Inning

Third Inning

The third inning proved pivotal for the Angels as they exploded offensively with four runs off three hits. This surge was instrumental in widening their lead and putting pressure on Houston's defense. Key contributions came from players like Logan O'Hoppe and Nolan Schanuel who maintained high batting averages throughout this period.

Fourth Inning

Continuing their offensive strategy into the fourth inning, Los Angeles added another run to their tally while keeping Houston at bay defensively. The Astros managed only one run during this time despite having one hit.

Fifth through Seventh Innings

As play progressed into these innings, both teams tightened up defensively; however it was still evident that LA had control over proceedings thanks largely due its earlier successes which allowed them some breathing room even when not scoring themselves directly here yet again adding another pair later within seventh itself ensuring no comeback attempts could be made by visiting side either way around then too!
