Mike Trout Goes Deep Again as Angels Knock Off Astros
The Angels secured their first 2-0 season start since 2007, powered by homers from Trout, Lowe, and Neto, with pitching limiting the Astros to 2 runs, officials said.
- On Friday, Mike Trout, Josh Lowe, and Zach Neto each hit home runs to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros, marking their first 2-0 start since 2007.

- Relief pitchers Chase Silseth, Ryan Zeferjahn, Sam Bachman, and Jordan Romano combined for 4 2/3 scoreless innings, while Lowe broke a 1-1 tie in the second inning with a three-run homer.
- Angels manager Kurt Suzuki praised the team's performance, saying, "They've been phenomenal coming in, attacking," and highlighted Trout's confident approach at the plate.
- The 2-0 start offers hope for ending a streak of consecutive losing seasons, but the series continues Saturday as Astros RHP Cristian Javier faces Angels LHP Reid Detmers.
