Angels Surge Late to Secure 8-3 Victory Over Blue Jays
ANAHEIM — The Los Angeles Angels broke out of a recent slump with a thrilling comeback, scoring six runs in the eighth inning to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-3, at Angel Stadium on Tuesday night.

Moncada expressed joy in his timely return, stating, "It feels phenomenal." The Angels capitalized on a crucial error in the eighth, leading to a series of runs highlighted by Moncada’s blast and a solo shot from Jo Adell.
Angels manager Ron Washington praised the team’s effort, stating it was a tremendous collective victory. The night ended with Jose Fermin on the mound, sealing the game’s final out and providing a much-needed boost for the Angels, who had faced challenges in their recent performances.
