The Los Angeles Angels turned a quiet afternoon into a rout in the span of one inning, pushing across seven runs in the fourth as Zach Neto and Jose Siri both went deep. Siri's no-doubter put the Halos in front, and the lineup kept the pressure on to stretch the lead.
What happened
The fourth inning belonged entirely to Los Angeles. Siri's home run flipped the game and gave the Angels a lead they would build on, while Neto added another blast during the same frame. The rally did not stop with the long balls, as the Angels kept the line moving to assemble a seven-run inning.
Why it matters
A seven-run inning is exactly the kind of offensive swing the Angels have lacked during a difficult stretch. At 30-46 on the season and coming off a tough run against this opponent, Los Angeles entered as the lower-scoring side and reshaped the game in a single frame. For a lineup searching for rhythm, the outburst is a welcome lift.
By the numbers
The Angels came into the day averaging 4.4 runs per game while allowing 5.0, a profile that put them at 30-46. Neto has been a steady source of power, homering in back-to-back games earlier in this stretch. Los Angeles had dropped its most recent meeting with this opponent 5-0, making the sudden offensive surge all the more notable.
What to watch next
The question now is whether the Angels can protect the lead as the game continues. Keep an eye on Neto, too, as he looks to extend a hot streak that has him producing power at a key moment for the Halos.
