The Los Angeles Angels are proof that having talented players is only one part of team success. The roster is highlighted by future Hall of Famer Mike Trout, 2025 All-Star pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, and power-hitting outfielder Taylor Ward (29 homers, 92 RBI), but they’re still 7.5 games out of an AL Wild Card spot with five-and-a-half weeks left.

Cincinnati led 4-1 in the bottom of the seventh, but the Angels rallied to tie the game 4-4 in the bottom of the eighth. The Reds then scored two runs in the top of the ninth to get the win and the victory in the series.
