Zach Neto (2 HRs), Angels Tee Off on Jacob deGrom, Rangers
Wade Meckler and Oswald Peraza also homered as Los Angeles used early power and late insurance runs to hold off Texas.
- On Friday, the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Texas Rangers 9-6, powered by two home runs from Zach Neto and a three-run blast from debutant Wade Meckler.
- Anaheim native Meckler made an immediate impact in his debut, racing toward the left-field line for a sliding catch before hitting a three-run homer off Rangers starter Jacob deGrom.
- Starter Grayson Rodriguez earned his first victory since July 31, 2024, allowing four runs over 5 2/3 innings while throwing 62 strikes to anchor the pitching effort.
- Following Oswald Peraza's seventh-inning home run that pushed the lead to 7-5, Peraza made a diving defensive stop in the eighth to preserve the Angels' advantage.
- Despite the team's 18-34 record, Manager Kurt Suzuki noted the offense is "headed in the right direction" after eight of nine starters recorded at least one hit.
