Nolan Schanuel went deep for the first time in four weeks, but defensive mistakes showed up again for the Angels, who now find themselves in need of a response in New York after being swept by the Orioles.

The Orioles are at the bottom of the AL East at 27-40, 15 games back of the division-leading New York Yankees. After sweeps of the Chicago White Sox and the Mariners, Baltimore has lost four of six against the Athletics and Detroit Tigers.

Cedric Mullins and Gary Sánchez hit back-to-back home runs to give Baltimore the lead. Mike Trout homered in the first inning to get the Angels on the scoreboard.

The pitching led the way on Sunday. O's pitcher Scott Blewett kept the Angels limited to only two runs on two hits, one being a homer.

The worst-hitting team against lefties in the major leagues gets to Anderson, whose defense isn’t at its best in the Angels’ 6-5 loss in Baltimore.

Bachman, 25, pitches a perfect inning in his first big league game since July 2023, before he underwent shoulder surgery. Bachman was the first-round pick from the Angels’ all-pitcher draft

Additionally, Los Angeles outfielder Taylor Ward got into a spat with outfield coach Bo Porter after a defensive play in the fourth inning, via The Orange County Register's Jeff Fletcher. Ward fielded a single by Ramon Laureano and threw the ball to second base instead of attempting to throw Gunnar Henderson out at home.

The Orioles’ game against the Angels on Friday night at Camden Yards was delayed a second time in the fifth inning because of rain.
