Overview

  • Kyren Paris hit a tie-breaking solo home run in the eighth inning, his first of the season, shortly after a 2-hour, 48-minute rain delay.
  • The Angels' bullpen, featuring Ben Joyce, Brock Burke, and Kenley Jansen, delivered critical performances to secure the win after the delay.
  • Jack Kochanowicz pitched six innings, allowing two unearned runs and making mid-game adjustments to overcome early struggles.
  • The White Sox starting pitchers allowed no earned runs across the three-game series, but their offense faltered after a strong Opening Day showing.
  • Luis Rengifo's key defensive plays in the final innings helped seal the Angels' victory and their 2-1 series win.
