Fourth Inning

By the fourth inning, Cincinnati extended their lead by scoring two more runs on three hits. The Halos struggled to contain this offensive push from their opponents and were unable to respond immediately.

Fifth Inning

In response, Los Angeles tightened up defensively but allowed another run in this inning. Despite solid efforts from players like Mike Trout and Jo Adell in previous games, they couldn't capitalize offensively during these middle innings.

Eighth Inning

Continuing their momentum from earlier innings, Los Angeles added another run in this frame but still trailed behind due to earlier setbacks. Travis d'Arnaud's consistent performance was notable during these crucial moments.

Ninth Inning

Despite valiant efforts by key players such as Zach Neto and Yoán Moncada throughout various stages of playtime today - including defensive plays that kept them within striking distance - it wasn't enough against an equally determined Redlegs squad who sealed victory after adding two more insurance runs late into proceedings here tonight at Anaheim’s iconic venue!
