Angels Snap Losing Streak with Victory Over Tigers

The Los Angeles Angels snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 3-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers, thanks to rookie pitcher Jack Kochanowicz’s six shutout innings and Zach Neto’s two-run homer, marking his 20th of the season. Kochanowicz (2-3) allowed just five hits and struck out four without walking any batters, showcasing significant improvement in his performance after earlier struggles this season. The Angels took an early lead with an RBI double from Mickey Moniak and maintained pressure despite the Tigers leaving 10 runners on base throughout the game. Relievers José Quijada and Ben Joyce successfully closed out the game, with Joyce earning his third save by striking out Spencer Torkelson to end a bases-loaded situation in the eighth. The win is a much-needed boost for the Angels, who have struggled offensively and only managed moderate improvement in their hitting. With this victory, Kochanowicz has now achieved four consecutive quality starts, while Neto made history as the first Angels infielder to achieve a 20-20 season.
