The Angels snatched a dramatic 7-6 walk-off victory from their cross-town rivals Tuesday night, as Taylor Ward's clutch two-run homer in the late innings and a shaky Dodgers bullpen proved to be the difference. Ward electrified the Anaheim crowd with a 3-for-5 performance that included the decisive blast and three runs scored, while Jo Adell delivered the game-winning RBI single in the ninth. The Angels' bullpen, led by Reid Detmers' crucial scoreless inning, held off a Dodgers lineup that saw Shohei Ohtani reach base three times and drive in two runs in his emotional return to Angel Stadium.

Los Angeles' late-inning collapse overshadowed strong nights from Freddie Freeman (2-for-5) and Teoscar Hernández (2 RBI), as the Dodgers' usually reliable relievers faltered when it mattered most. The win keeps the Angels' faint playoff hopes alive, while the Dodgers—despite Ohtani's heroics—leave with questions about their bullpen as the postseason race intensifies.
