The Los Angeles Angels came from behind to beat the Detroit Tigers, 10-6, behind a marquee offensive performance from Vaughn Grissom, who drove in six runs with a grand slam and a single that were part of a three-hit night.
Jack Kochanowicz had a rough start for the Angels, however. He started well, but the Tigers got on the board first in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by Zach McKinstry. The Angels got that one back, then another on a two-run RBI single from Grissom, and the Halos added two more to make it 4-1 on a solo home run by Jo Adell and an RBI double by Zach Neto.
But Kochanowicz wasn’t about holding the lead on this particular night. McKinstry added another sac fly to make it 4-2, and the Tigers tied it on a two-run triple by Kevin McGonigle. Jahmai Jones singled to plate McGonigle with a run that ran the score to 5-4 Tigers.
Mitch Farris came on in relief to rescue Kochanowicz, and he managed to work out of a bases-loaded jam with none out with a pair of strikeouts and a fly ball to Adell in right. The Tigers extended their lead with a run in the sixth on a solo home run by Weceel Perez to make it 6-4, but the best was yet to come for the Angels in the eighth inning.
The rally started on a single by Oswald Perez, and Logan O’Hoppe doubled to bring home Perez. That made it 6-5, and Neto kept the rally going with a single that got O’Hoppe to third. Mike Trout walked, and Grissom delivered the big blow, a grand slam to right center that put the Angels back up, 9-6.
Chase Silseth came on to pitch the eighth, and Jose Siri padded the lead further with a line-drive solo homer to left to make it 10-6. The home run took away a possible save for Kirby Yates, who recovered nicely from an opening walk to retire three straight and finish up the win for the Halos as Jose Fermin got the win for chipping in with a scoreless 1-1/3 inning effort.
The Angels are now officially hot with a four-game win streak, and the come-from-behind win broke an 0-24 for the Halos when they’re trailing after seven. The Tigers, meanwhile, are just 3-16 since losing Tarik Skubal to an elbow injury, so these are now two teams going in very different directions.
The Angels will try and keep the good vibes and the win streak going when they send Jose Soriano to the mound against Casey Mize in what should be a fun pitching matchup.
