Luis García returned to the MLB mound after 28 months and a Tommy John recovery, throwing six innings of three earned on 79 pitches as the Astros beat the Angels 8-3 to split the four-game set. Houston’s bats finally delivered with runners in scoring position (6-for-15), sparking timely scoring across six innings. Urías homered, Altuve piled up RBIs, and the bullpen closed it out after García’s strong return, preserving a two-game AL West lead ahead of the Yankees visit.
