Angels Overcome Reds with Fourth Inning Surge at Goodyear Ballpark
The Los Angeles Angels secured a 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in a tightly contested game at Goodyear Ballpark. This win brings the Angels' preseason record to 3-5, while the Reds stand at 3-3. The Halos capitalized on a pivotal fourth inning, scoring three runs that set the tone for their triumph.
First Inning
The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Angels were unable to register any hits or runs in the first two innings, while the Reds managed to score one run off three hits in their opening frame.
Fourth Inning
The turning point of the match came during the fourth inning when Denzer Guzman and Christian Moore led an offensive charge for Los Angeles. Guzman’s double and Moore's single contributed significantly as they combined efforts with Nolan Schanuel, who also made his presence felt by reaching base safely. This collective effort resulted in three crucial runs for the Halos, giving them a lead they would not relinquish.
Fifth and Sixth Innings
In response, Cincinnati attempted to mount a comeback but was stifled by strong pitching from Walbert Ureña and Ryan Zeferjahn of Los Angeles. Despite allowing one run in each of these innings, Ureña's control on mound limited further damage as he maintained an earned run average (ERA) of zero across his previous appearances this season.
Seventh Inning Onwards
As tensions rose towards game's end; Bryce Teodosio added another insurance run during seventh inning extending Angel’s advantage over Redlegs before bullpen took charge ensuring no additional scores from opposition side till final out recorded ninth period sealing full-time result favoring visitors ultimately securing narrow yet decisive win against Big Red Machine marking successful outing overall amidst challenging circumstances faced throughout encounter itself!
