Mike Trout came up next and at first it seemed like heād simply popped up to second base to end the inning. But, as Chicago second baseman Chase Meidroth went up for the catch, he seemingly lost the ball in the sun and fell to the ground, letting the ball drop in for a single that scored Neto from third.

The Angels tacked three more runs on throughout the game, but thanks to another lockdown outing from Walbert UreƱa, they never needed more than the first five.
The 22-year-old right hander went six innings, allowing one earned run on two hits with three walks and five strikeouts. The performance brought UreƱaās ERA down to 3.22.
After Wednesdayās stellar showing, UreƱa was able to cross another major milestone off his list.
With the help of the two-out rally that the Angels put up behind him, UreƱa went home with his first win of the season and the first win of his major league career.
"It's huge. He's throwing really, really well and just battling. He's got no quit in him," Jo Adell said of UreƱa's milestone. "That's huge for him and really exciting to be able to experience it. So. we're really happy to be a part of it and celebrate."
Itās been a long road to get to his point for UreƱa. He was signed by the Angels as an international free agent in 2021 and prior to this season he was grinding his way through the minor leagues.
He debuted this season in the bullpen, which was a new adjustment for him, but soon enough he earned his way to the starting rotation and has continued to impress.
Clearly, his teammates made sure he celebrated his milestone.
"They threw a lot of beers," UreƱa said of his teammates.
