The Los Angeles Angels swept the Athletics once again thanks to a six-run sixth inning.

The Angels won, 6-5, on Wednesday afternoon and have won eight of their last nine games. The Halos have now improved to 33-34 on the year as a .500 record is once again in sight.

Additionally, the Angels have signed a veteran catcher who was recently released by a divisional rival and will return to Anaheim. The backstop was a part of some important Angels history in 2022 regarding Reid Detmers.

Unfortunately, for fans who hoped to see three-time MVP Mike Trout return to the outfield, manager Ron Washington gave an update that doesn't exactly point to an imminent return. Trout is still feeling soreness in his surgically-repaired knee after a bone bruise at the end of April.
