Just as the curtain closed on the Angels’ 2025 season, the team went into Houston and showed the fans and front office a glimpse of what this team could have been. While the team only picked up two out of the four games and the series ended on a scary note for Taylor Ward and the team, the pitching staff came in and dominated an Astros team well on their way to another American League West crown and playoff run.
The opening game of the series saw the Angels eventually fall to the Astros 2-0, but that falls on the Halos’ offense being incapable of taking advantage of scoring opportunities (they only managed two hits on the night).
