Game Summary
Houston Astros defeated the Los Angeles Angels 3-2. Houston prevailed thanks to timely offense in the middle innings and scoreless relief after the fifth, while the Angels stranded 19 runners. Christian Vázquez opened the scoring with a third-inning homer, and Denzer Guzman’s two-run double tied the game for Los Angeles; Josh Lowe went 2-for-2 and scored a run for the Angels. The turning point came in the fourth inning, when José Altuve’s double drove in Yordan Alvarez and Cam Smith followed with a sacrifice fly to put Houston back in front. Walbert Ureña took the loss after five innings and three runs, and Houston’s bullpen — led by Michael Fulmer, Bryan Abreu and closer Josh Hader — kept the Angels off the board the rest of the way.
