**Angels Soar to Fifth Straight Win, Defeat Athletics 7-5**

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Los Angeles Angels extended their winning streak to five games with a 7-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night. Catcher Logan O’Hoppe powered the Angels’ offense with a home run and a crucial RBI single that put Los Angeles ahead for good.

The game was a back-and-forth affair. The Athletics initially took the lead, fueled by home runs from Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz. However, the Angels fought back, highlighted by a three-run blast from Yoán Moncada. O’Hoppe’s single broke a 4-4 tie, and late-inning RBIs from Zach Neto and Taylor Ward added insurance runs for the Angels.

Kenley Jansen, despite allowing a run in the ninth, secured his 10th save of the season, striking out Tyler Soderstrom to seal the win. Jansen is now closing in on Lee Smith for third place on the all-time saves list.

The Athletics, meanwhile, suffered their seventh consecutive loss. Starting pitcher Gunnar Hoglund (1-2) struggled, giving up five runs in less than five innings. A bright spot for Oakland was the continued hitting of Jacob Wilson (.341 BA), although he was forced to leave the game early after being hit by a pitch.

The Angels (2-5) will look to continue their winning streak tomorrow when Jack Kochanowicz takes the mound against the Athletics’ JP Sears.
