Luis Rengifo drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and Yusei Kikuchi allowed one run on seven hits over seven innings as the Los Angeles Angels snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Cincinnati Reds with a 2-1 on Wednesday night in Anaheim, Calif.

Yoan Moncada hit a home run and Mike Trout went 2-for-4 to extend his on-base streak to 21 games for Los Angeles, which won for the second time in six games.

Reid Detmers (4-3) picked up the win with a scoreless inning of relief and Luis Garcia, subbing for injured closer Kenley Jansen (ribs), pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his first save. Kikuchi didn’t walk a batter and struck out four. He left after throwing 88 pitches, 58 for strikes.

Ke’Bryan Hayes had two doubles and scored a run and Noelvi Marte went 2-for-4 with an RBI for Cincinnati, which had a three-game win streak snapped. It was Marte’s fifth consecutive multi-hit game and also extended his hitting streak to 11 games.

Graham Ashcraft (7-5) suffered the loss after allowing one run on three hits in 2/3 of an inning. The loss kept Cincinnati from moving into a tie with the New York Mets for the final wild-card spot in the National League.

Cincinnati took a 1-0 lead in the third inning when Austin Hays led off with an opposite field double down the right field line and scored two outs later on a single by Marte.

Los Angeles tied it 1-1 in the fourth inning on Moncada’s ninth home run, a 394-foot drive to left-center.

The Angels took their first lead of the series in the eighth inning against Ashcraft. Bryce Teodosio led off with a double to left and scored what proved to be the game-winner one out later on a ground single to left by Rengifo.

Los Angeles shortstop Zach Neto, the reigning American League Player of the Week, was hit by a pitch in the third inning and left the game before the start of the sixth inning with what was described by the team as left wrist soreness.

2025 Fantasy football draft prep: Experts reveal rankings, strategy guide, rookie advice, best 150 players

Fantasy football players finally saw the usage they've been clamoring for from Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson toward the end of last season, giving him the potential at that top spot in 2025 Fantasy football rankings. After only playing at least 80% of snaps once in his rookie season, and never more than 81%, he played more than 80% of snaps in five games last year, including each of the final two contests of the season. When the Falcons used the No. 8 overall pick on a running back in the 2023 NFL Draft, some thought he could be the RB1 overall in his rookie season. After finishing as RB3 last year, that seems like a more realistic opportunity this year, so if you are lucky enough to have the No. 1 overall pick in your 2025 Fantasy football draft, […]
