In a wild second-inning play, Adam Frazier’s bunt and grass-run fooled the first baseman’s throw, leading to an overturned out call that gave the Angels a crucial run — part of their 18-3 demolition of the Astros. Zach Neto exploded with a 5-for-6 line, including a homer and 7 RBIs, while Frazier added his own. But despite the series win, the Angels remain firmly out of playoff contention at 51-77, 14 games behind Houston and far from the wildcard race. Their trade deadline moves haven’t shifted their trajectory — they’re barely .500 over their last 10 games and struggling on the road. The controversial call sparked online debate, reminding fans how razor-thin MLB calls can be — even when the outcome is a blowout.
