Late Rally by Angels Locks Up 8-5 Win
The California Angels defeated the Houston Astros, 8-5, at Minute Maid Park. California left fielder Rusty Ney had a superb performance. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2. California reliever Trevor Sharp picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Taek-gyun Kym took the loss. The Angels, now 21-9, have been on fire in the early going.

California used a timely hit from Bjoern Waltersson to get the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Angels ahead, 7-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"This is truly a great team to play with," Waltersson said after the game. "We're like brothers, and when we come together to pull out the win, that just makes it all the better."
