9/15/24	Angels come up short against Astros, lose 4th straight. Taylor Ward and Nolan Schanuel both came steaming toward the plate, just about 30 feet apart, with Schanuel representing the tying run in the bottom of the eighth inning. The ball arrived in between them, just in time to keep the Angels down by a run in a game they went on to lose, 5-3, to the Houston Astros on Saturday night. The unusual play was one of the few moments when the Angels showed some offensive life, but it wasn't enough. Down 4-2, the Angels loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batter with one out.
