Overview
- The Astros beat the Angels 5-4 in 10 innings, with the decisive play coming when Altuve tagged up on a shallow center popout and slid home after Logan O’Hoppe’s throw took an in‑between hop.
- Brice Matthews threw out Mike Trout at the plate in the bottom of the 10th on a one‑hop relay, and Bryan Abreu retired the final two batters to secure the win.
- Josh Hader struck out the side in the ninth and was credited with the win after Christian Walker tied the game with an RBI single in the ninth inning.
- Starter Spencer Arrighetti survived a 34‑pitch, three‑run second inning to record a quality start despite recurring command issues, while relievers steadied the game late.
- LaMonte Wade Jr. exited with right hamstring soreness and will be monitored, Collin Price recorded his first major‑league hit, and Houston improved to 31-37 with the series opener in Anaheim.
