ANAHEIM, Calif.—Logan O'Hoppe hit a two-run home run with one out in the ninth inning Sunday, June 9, to complete a four-hit game, and the Los Angeles Angels rallied for a 9–7 victory over the Houston Astros despite Jose Altuve tying a career high with four hits.

After Kevin Pillar got aboard with a one-out single to left, O'Hoppe hit a slider from Josh Hader (3–4) deep to left field. Trey Cabbage appeared to make a leaping catch at the short wall but dropped the ball when his left arm hit the barrier, causing the ball to fall into the stands and give the Angels their first walk-off win of the season.
