The Houston Astros blew a four-run lead before rallying for a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels!
ANAHEIM, CA - JULY 12: Kyle Tucker #30 of the Houston Astros doubles to score Jose Altuve for the go-ahead run in the ninth inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on July 12, 2022 in Anaheim, California. – Even the mighty Houston Astros are not immune to occasional bouts of comprehensive ineptitude, as they demonstrated while blowing a four-run lead in the seventh inning Tuesday night with two errors, a hit batter with the bases loaded and a passed ball.
Although the Astros wasted a strong six-inning start by Luis Garcia with a mistake-filled seventh, the AL West leaders have still won four of five and 21 of 27 to move a season-high 28 games above .500 at 57-29. “I'm just grateful we were able to bounce back and get that run we needed against a very good closer,” said reliever Phil Maton, who got charged with four unearned runs in the seventh after committing one of the two errors. “We shouldn't even have been in that situation.”
Mike Trout left with upper back spasms before the fifth inning on another disappointing night for the Halos, who have lost five straight and nine of 10 to drop a season-low 12 games below .500 at 38-50. Shohei Ohtani went 0 for 2 with two walks on the night before the All-Star returns to the mound and attempts to extend his streak of 28 2/3 scoreless innings.Trout struck out in his first two at-bats against Garcia before leaving the game. He also struck out 16 times while batting .
Noah Syndergaard wasn’t sharp for the Angels, yielding three runs on three hits and a season-high four walks while lasting just four innings.
