The Angels rallied to beat the Astros 9-6 in a thrilling game on Sunday, with Zach Neto hitting two home runs and a tiebreaking three-run double in the ninth inning. The win salvaged a game in the series and marked the Angels’ first victory against the Astros in seven games. Neto’s outstanding performance included tying his career-high with 6 RBIs in a single game. The Astros briefly regained the lead in the eighth, but the Angels took control in the ninth, scoring four runs off Astros closer Josh Hader. The Astros tried to mount a comeback in the bottom of the ninth, but Guillo Zuniga closed out the game for his second career save. The win comes as the Angels are playing out a disappointing season with a likely last-place finish in the AL West. However, the team’s recent offensive showing against tough opponents like the Astros is a positive sign as they look toward the future. The victory on Sunday showed the team’s resilience and fighting spirit, providing hope for the final days of the 2024 season. The Astros, on the other hand, remain comfortably in first place in the division as they aim for their fourth straight division title.
