Rays Secure Walk-Off Win Against Angels, Boosting Postseason Momentum

Manuel Margot's run-scoring single in the bottom of the ninth inning completed a two-run rally, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

"Renfroe's 10th inning homer secures Angels' victory over Blue Jays"

Hunter Renfroe's two-run homer in the 10th inning lifted the Los Angeles Angels to a much-needed 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, snapping their 0-for-27 skid with runners in scoring position in the series. The victory helped the Angels avoid a series sweep and move within four games of the Blue Jays in the AL Wild Card chase. Renfroe's clutch home run came after lefty starter Tyler Anderson pitched 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball. Closer Carlos Estévez sealed the win despite giving up a run in the bottom of the 10th. The Angels face a tough schedule ahead but remain optimistic as key players are expected to return from injury in August.
