The Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 18-3 on Thursday, with Zach Neto having a major impact on the outcome. Multiple outlets report that Neto goes 5-for-6 and hits a home run, driving in seven runs as the Angels score in a lopsided game.
The Angels’ offensive production is described as their best in recent seasons, including a season-high in hits and their most runs in about three years. Yahoo Sports adds that the Angels score 18 runs, their highest-scoring output since 2023, and it also notes their 25-1 win over Colorado in June 2023 as a recent high point.
On the pitching side, Yahoo Sports says Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez allows only two unearned runs over seven innings, striking out six. While the Winnipeg Free Press article centers on Neto’s homer and seven-RBI performance and the overall 18-3 rout, the Yahoo Sports follow-up emphasizes that Neto ties a franchise record in the same game.
