Crazy 8th: Halos win back-and-forth thriller
The Angels erased a pair of two-run deficits and snapped their six-game skid by scoring five runs in the bottom of the eighth to rally for a 10-7 win over the Rockies in Monday night’s series opener at Angel Stadium. After DJ LeMahieu gave the Rockies the lead with a grand slam in the top of the eighth, Andrelton Simmons got the Angels back within a run with a sac fly. Eric Young Jr. delivered a two-run single to center field to give the Angels an 8-7 lead, and they added two more runs on a costly throwing error by shortstop Trevor Story. Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout both homered earlier in the game.
