The Angels overcame a five-run deficit to secure an 8-5 victory against the Chicago White Sox. Taylor Ward connected for a walk-off three-run homer, his 26th of the season. After struggling early, Zach Neto sparked the team with a home run in the sixth inning. The Angels had lost two previous games in the series and faced disappointment despite their general manager's decision to retain the roster for a meaningful August and September. The team showed resilience and determination to fight back and achieve the win.
Taylor Ward hit a walk-off three-run homer to end it, his career-high 26th homer of the season. With one out in the ninth, Nolan Schanuel yanked a double into right field... This time, he got a 3-and-2 sweeper at his knees and he lifted it over the left-field fence.
The Angels (54-58) had lost the first two games of the series, just after general manager Perry Minasian said he chose not to make forward-looking trades... to experience "meaningful" games in August and September.
Zach Neto led off the inning with a homer, accompanied by a bat flip that seemed to have some frustration behind it. Neto hadn't homered since July 11. "It's about time I get one in the air... it kind of sparked the team a little bit. We needed that one."
When you get down early like that, it can put you in a funk. And guys were obviously not pumped about that. Jack gave us five innings... to come back and do that, was awesome.
