ANAHEIM, Calif.—Matt Thaiss drove in a career-high five runs, Jo Adell hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning, and the Los Angeles Angels overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Colorado Rockies 10–7 on Tuesday night, July 30.

Thaiss became the first Angels catcher to drive in five runs and steal two bases in the same game, and just the second catcher in major-league history to achieve the feat, after Detroit’s Mickey Cochrane in 1934.
