Key Points:
- Jo Adell powered the Angels to a 13-1 victory over the Rangers with two home runs, five RBIs, and three runs scored, breaking the game open with consecutive homers off MacKenzie Gore.
- Walbert Ureña pitched four innings of one-hit, scoreless ball but struggled with control, issuing five walks and failing to secure a win despite the Angels' large margin of victory.
- Kyle Higashioka provided a rare highlight for the Rangers by hitting a solo home run as a pinch hitter before pitching an inning of relief in the 13-1 loss, amid a lighthearted 'tarps-off' celebration in the stands.
- MacKenzie Gore delivered a mixed performance with electric stuff but poor pitch location, allowing seven runs on nine hits over five innings and continuing his inconsistent season.
- Sal Stewart led the Reds to an 11-5 win over the Phillies with two home runs and three RBIs, breaking a 70-year-old franchise rookie record for most home runs before the All-Star break with 19 homers.
