Angels Complete First Dodgers Sweep at Dodger Stadium Since 2010

The Los Angeles Angels achieved a historic sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, marking their first three-game series sweep there since 2010. The Angels took an early lead in the series finale with home runs from Zach Neto and Taylor Ward and maintained their advantage despite a late Dodgers rally. Key performances included Travis d’Arnaud’s go-ahead home run in the eighth inning and solid pitching from Yusei Kikuchi, who limited the Dodgers to one earned run over 5 ⅔ innings. Dodgers starter Tony Gonsolin struggled, allowing multiple runs and walks across four innings, contributing to the team's offensive challenges despite Shohei Ohtani's three hits and Will Smith’s tying three-run homer. The sweep was a significant morale boost for the Angels, who have struggled this season, while the Dodgers face continued pitching injuries and offensive inconsistencies. Off the field, the Dodgers partnered with Fanatics and Make-A-Wish to host seven children for a special experience at Dodger Stadium, including clubhouse tours and ceremonial first pitches, highlighting community engagement amid a tough series loss.
