Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Rookie Ryan Johnson allowed one run on two hits over five innings and Oswald Peraza went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored as the Los Angeles Angels salvaged the final game of a three-game series with the Detroit Tigers with a 3-2 victory on Sunday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif.
Nolan Schanuel had three hits, and Vaughn Grissom had two hits, including a double and a run scored, helping Los Angeles snap a four-game losing streak.
Johnson (2-4) walked three and struck out five. Ryan Zeferjahn picked up the save.
Kevin McGonigle and Riley Greene each hit home runs for Detroit, which suffered just its fourth loss in the last 15 games.
Drew Anderson (3-4) suffered the loss, allowing one run on one hit and three walks in 1 1/3 innings. Anderson took over for starter Casey Mize, who left with one out in the fourth after throwing out Jo Adell on a 109 mph comebacker that hit him on the edge of his glove and left wrist.
Detroit jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning when McGonigle led off with his ninth home run, a 402-foot drive to left-center. It was the third leadoff homer of the season for McGonigle.
Los Angeles tied it at 1 in the second when Grisson led off with a double down the left field line, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Josh Lowe and scored one out later on an infield single by Peraza.
The Angels capitalized on Anderson’s wildness to take a 2-1 lead in the fifth. Zach Neto and Mike Trout opened the inning with back-to-back walks and Schanuel then singled to load the bases. Jorge Soler then drove in Neto with a groundout to short.
Los Angeles increased its lead to 3-1 in the sixth inning when Peraza led off with a single, stole second, advanced to third on a groundout and scored on a single by Neto.
Greene led off the ninth with his 14th home run to make it 3-2, his 10th homer since June 1, but Zeferjahn bounced back to retire the next three batters for his third save.

Stephen Curry first active player showcased by Hall of Fame
Sep 25, 2022; San Francisco, CA, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) poses with the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophies during Media Day at the Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will break with tradition Friday when it opens an exhibition highlighting the career of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. No other player in league history has received such an honor while still active.
The exhibition is titled “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc” and takes a look at the four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP both on and off the court. Curry’s business team partnered with the Hall of Fame on the project.
“The exhibit is designed to explore his multifaceted legacy as a basketball icon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and family man,” the Hall of Fame said in a news release.
This will be the first look at Curry’s legacy at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., but not the last. He is certain of being selected for enshrinement into the hall as soon as he is eligible, post-retirement.
“When I think about my journey, I think about the people who believed in me, the work that happened when nobody was watching and the moments that shaped me on and off the court,” said Curry, 38.
“To have that story told while I’m still playing is something I don’t take lightly. My hope is that fans walk through this experience and feel the joy, the purpose and the gratitude that basketball has given me, and maybe see a little bit of their own journey in it too.”
A closing date has not been set for the exhibition.

Cardinals OL Isaiah Adams facing gun charges in Canada
Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams (74) watches from the sidelines during the team’s practice at State Farm Stadium on July 29, 2025. Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams is facing multiple charges related to a guns and gangs investigation in his native Canada.
Adams turned himself into Durham Regional Police in the Toronto area on Sunday on charges of possessing a weapon by crime, possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a prohibited device.
His 27-year-old sister, Allyson Mae Adams, was charged with the same crimes as part of the investigation.
Adams, who turned 26 on Tuesday, has since returned to Arizona and is expected to report to training camp on Wednesday, according to ESPN. The Cardinals begin practice on Thursday.
The Cardinals said Tuesday that they were aware of the situation.
“Out of respect for the process, we will refrain from commenting further at this time,” a team spokesperson said.
A third-round draft pick by Arizona in 2024, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Adams appeared in 32 games with 16 starts in his first two NFL seasons. He is expected to compete with rookie Chase Bistonis for the starting job at right guard.
