The Cleveland Guardians beat the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 on Monday night as Parker Messick pitches six strong innings and Austin Hedges provides a key two-run home run. Messick allows one run over his six innings while limiting damage with three hits, four strikeouts, and one walk, and he extends a run of consecutive starts allowing two or fewer runs.
Offensively, Hedges’ two-run homer is part of Cleveland’s scoring. Jo Adell adds a go-ahead single against the Angels, including a moment of impact for a player facing his former team. The game’s final margin reflects Cleveland’s ability to keep the Angels in check after taking the lead, with the bullpen holding on to secure the victory.
Across the two reports, the central details are consistent: Messick’s length and control, Hedges’ home run, and the Guardians’ 4-2 win over Los Angeles.
