Italian Rookie Sam Aldegheri Makes Historic MLB Win

Aldegheri becomes first Italian-born pitcher to secure a major league victory since 1949 in Angels' 5-1 triumph over Rangers.

Sam Aldegheri allowed just one run on three hits over six innings, striking out seven batters.
The 22-year-old's win marks the first major league victory by an Italian-born pitcher in 75 years.
Aldegheri was signed by the Phillies in 2019 and traded to the Angels, debuting in August 2024.
He has rapidly progressed from Single-A to the majors, showcasing a diverse pitching arsenal.
Logan O’Hoppe's three-run homer significantly contributed to the Angels' victory.
