Overview
- Luis Rengifo delivered a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth after Bryce Teodosio doubled and moved to third on a wild pitch.
- Yusei Kikuchi allowed one run on seven hits over seven innings on 88 pitches, thriving with a deliberate shift toward more curveballs and far fewer sliders after consulting hitters and coaches.
- Nick Martinez limited the Angels to one run over six innings for Cincinnati, with Yoán Moncada’s solo homer accounting for Los Angeles’ early offense.
- With Kenley Jansen unavailable because of left rib discomfort, Reid Detmers handled the eighth for the win and Luis Garcia recorded his first major-league save in a perfect ninth.
- Shortstop Zach Neto exited with left-wrist soreness after being hit by a pitch, with the team set to use Thursday’s off day for evaluation.
