The Los Angeles Angels achieved a stunning three-game sweep over the Los Angeles Dodgers, the defending World Series champions, winning the latest game 6-4. This momentous victory marked the Angels' first sweep of the Dodgers since 2010 and may serve as a pivotal moment for a team struggling in the AL West. Travis d'Arnaud was instrumental, hitting a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning and contributing an RBI single earlier in the game. The sweep boosts the Angels' morale significantly, despite their current last-place standing.

Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi started strongly but left with a no-decision, while Shaun Anderson stepped up in the bullpen, closing out the game with a strikeout of Shohei Ohtani after a difficult seventh inning. The Angels’ bats were robust, posting a .307 average over the series, and displayed resilience, especially given that major bullpen arms were unavailable. Manager Ron Washington praised Anderson's performance, indicating it provided much-needed depth in a struggling bullpen.
