What happened: Angels shortstop Zach Neto homered for the second consecutive game on Wednesday, connecting for a 431-foot solo blast to center field. The home run followed a scoring effort in Tuesday's 7-0 victory, marking Neto's 15th long ball of the 2026 campaign.

By the numbers: Season HR: 15 | Season SB: 11 | Team Record: 30-44 | Division Standing: 5th, AL West

What to watch: The Angels conclude their road trip in Arizona before returning home for a division series against the Mariners.
