Halo Victory Lights Up The Sky!
Hey fellow Angels fans!
Last night's game against the Padres was a nail-biter, but we came out on top with a 4-2 victory! 
Let's dive into the game highlights.Pitchers Holding The Fort!
The game started off as a pitcher's duel with neither team able to score in the first inning. Our Angels showed some solid defense, and the Padres couldn't break through. It wasn't until the bottom of the 3rd when Luis Rengifo delivered a clutch single, driving in Luis Guillorme and leveling the score 1-1. Rengifo's speed was on display as he stole second, but unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize further in that inning.Angels Take Flight!
The real magic happened in the bottom of the 7th. The bases were loaded thanks to walks and an infield single by Logan O'Hoppe. With the pressure mounting, Zach Neto stepped up and hit a double that brought in two runs, giving us a lead we wouldn't relinquish. But we didn't stop there; a wild pitch allowed Mickey Moniak to score, extending our lead to 4-1. What a moment!
Closing Out The Win!
Our bullpen did face some tense moments in the 8th inning when the Padres managed to score another run, tightening the game to 4-2. However, the combination of GarcÃa, Strickland, and finally Estévez in the 9th inning secured our victory. Estévez shut down the Padres, including getting a key out with David Peralta lining out to right, ensuring we sealed the win.Final Thoughts
