Angels News
The Los Angeles Angels finally broke their scoring slump, putting up five runs in a 5-2 victory over the Texas Rangers, a welcome sight after being held to four runs or fewer for 16 straight games. Mike Trout returned to form with a standout performance, echoing his dominant 2018 campaign. Meanwhile, interim GM John Mozeliak hinted at further coaching changes after firing three pitching coaches, although he assured the hitting staff will remain intact through 2026. On the pitching front, Ben Joyce's return from shoulder surgery is promising, as he notched his first save in almost two years. The Rangers' ace, Jacob deGrom, exited the game early due to injury, adding to their struggles as they now languish below .500. The Angels' recent momentum is crucial as they look to build on this win.
