Angels walk off Twins in extras on Last Saturday Firework Night of 2026

The Angels have the best use of fireworks in Baseball. I’m serious. I cannot think of “and the rockets red glare” without the fireworks going off. Because it makes sense. The fact that other teams don’t do that is sad.

I mean I haven’t been to all stadiums. But the Dodgers don’t do that. So there. They suck at that. They also don’t do fireworks as often as the Angels. This whole drone show stuff. Bleh. Angels have sat night fireworks every home sat night. Suck it Dodgers.

Anyway how did the actual team do? Well… Not good. Detmers, who has been on a roll do far, had a bit good game today. 5 innings giving up 4 runs on 6 hits striking out 5 and walking none.

But hey 200th K for Detmers this season!

Highlighted Recap

Twins struck first with a double in the 3rd.

1-0 Twins

A groundout made it 2-0 in the 3rd.

2-0 Twins

A nice catch by Lowe stopped the bleeding.

Nice

But a hit in the 4th made it 3-0 Twins

Boo

Hey Siri, make this a game.

Ding ding, 3-2 Twins

But Detmers allowed a home run in the 5th.

4-2 Twins

No QS for Detmers. And the Angels were losing. But hey he can feild.

How do they determine GG for pitchers anyway?

With Detmers only going 5, the bullpen had to hold the line for 4 innings. But it couldn’t. And Watson allowed a run in the 8th.

5-2 Twins

But the Angels do not give up. They score 2 on a pinch hit double by Frazier.

5-4 Twins

Mike Trout GIDP though so no more in the 8th.

Bruh

It was going to be another loss… But NOT YET as Grissom tied the game in the 9th with a HOME RUN!

TIED GAME

Off to extras, where the stress is ten fold. After getting a flyout to move the runner to 3rd, another flyout got the 2nd out but the runner went and OUT AT HOME!

STILLLLL TIED

With 2 on and 2 out, Neto had a chance to walk it off. He did not. Struck out looking. Onto the 11th.

Thankfully no runs in the 11th. So the Angels had a chance to walk it off again. And with the bases loaded and 2 outs, Moore WALKED IT OFF ANGELS WIN!

ANGELS WIN

Upcoming

Last home game tomorrow. Then 6 on the road vs the A’s and Mariners.

If we can go 3-4 over the last 7 games of the season we avoid 100 losses.

It’s gonna be a dogfight.

Fingers crossed for 63-99.

Crazy stuff. Some of the suckiest of the suck shredded today. Good plays by Lowe (defense), Siri (homer), Vaughn (homer), Frazier (PH mashed 2RBI double) and Seymour (walk off liner off the pitcher). Color me totally shocked.

Also witnessed the Twits 5-man infield which made me reminisce about old man Soth.

Trout on base 3 times tonight.

Even in his diminished state, he’s still a top-10 OBP in the league player.

Impressive when one considers his age & injury history.

60 wins. We’d have to really tank to lose 100. The team feels like it’s doing better since the sale was announced

I think we’re 7-9 since then which is hardly better but like I said, it feels better!
