Orioles Sweep Angels, Win Third Straight Series

The Baltimore Orioles completed a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels with an 11-2 victory, highlighted by Gary Sánchez's seventh-inning grand slam and homers from Ramón Urías and Jordan Westburg. Orioles reliever Cade Povich earned his first win since April, pitching 3 2/3 shutout innings, while starter Yusei Kikuchi struggled, allowing a season-high five runs. The Angels' Tyler Anderson had a difficult outing in the series, surrendering six earned runs on nine hits over five innings in a 6-5 loss, continuing a recent pattern of allowing multiple runs and failing to pitch deep innings. Despite Anderson's efforts, defensive errors and back-to-back home runs by Cedric Mullins and Gary Sánchez in the sixth inning contributed to the Angels' defeat. Offensively, the Angels received strong performances from Luis Rengifo, who hit two homers, and Taylor Ward, who recorded three hits including a game-tying double. Baltimore has now won 20 of 26 matchups against the Angels since 2022, including five of six this season.
