Angels Edge Giants 4-3
The San Francisco Giants failed to complete a sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, losing 4-3. Rookie Carson Whisenhunt started for the Giants and took the loss after five innings, allowing four earned runs and striking out seven. The Angels connected for two home runs in the fourth inning to swing the game, while Mike Trout collected four hits to lead the visitors. Jorge Soler and Jo Adell provided the Angels' other power, and Luis Arraez delivered a ninth-inning double for two runs in a late rally. The Giants’ offense struggled to sustain rhythm and could not back Whisenhunt's effort, leaving them short of a weekend series win. With Trevor McDonald sidelined by elbow concerns, the Giants are weighing rotation options as they try to salvage the year, while hot streaks for Rafael Devers buoy the Giants and trade rumors around Arraez and Ramos continue to frame the season.
