The Astros crushed the Angels 7-4, sweeping the series and snapping a rough stretch with their eighth win in nine games — finally hitting .500 for the first time since April. Rookie pitcher Hayden Wesneski made a triumphant return after Tommy John surgery, tossing 5⅓ innings and earning his first win in over a year. Bryan Abreu sealed it with his seventh save. The Angels, reeling with 18 losses in 23 games, jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead but couldn’t hold off Houston’s late surge, including clutch homers from Diaz and Peña and a key double from Cam Smith. With a big series against Texas looming, the Astros are closing in on the AL West lead — while the Angels need answers fast.
