Angels Start Strong
Things started off promising for the Los Angeles Angels, with Yoan Moncada and Taylor Ward both going deep in the 3rd inning, giving us an early 2-0 lead.
It was a thrilling moment seeing Moncada hitting a 345-foot homer followed by Ward smashing a 397-foot beauty to center! In the 4th, Jo Adell extended our lead with an impressive 410-foot home run to right center, bringing in Mike Trout who had singled. At this point, the Angels looked in control leading 4-0, and Trout's bat was alive with a solid performance, including an RBI double in the 5th! 
Guardians Fight Back
Despite our 5-2 lead at the middle of the 4th inning, the Cleveland Guardians were not backing down. The Guardians chipped away at our lead with a solo shot from Jose Ramirez in the 5th and another homer by Steven Kwan in the 6th. Leading by one, we needed a strong performance from our bullpen, but the 7th inning turned into a nightmare as Carlos Santana delivered a game-tying home run.
It didn't help when Arias's double in the same inning cleared the bases and put the Guardians ahead 7-5. A Tough Finish
The Angels couldn't muster much in the final innings as Emmanuel Clase came in for the Guardians and shut things down in the 9th inning. The fighting spirit was there, but the bats went cold and we ended the game 5-7. It was a heartbreak to see after such a promising start.
We had a few defensive errors that cost us dearly, and despite Trout's great day at the plate and some power displays in the early innings, the Guardians' relentless fight saw them over the line. We're going to need to tighten up if we're going to maintain our composure and hit the ground running in the next game. Here's hoping for a bounce back next time!
