The Los Angeles Angels came to play at the Chicago Cubs' home, Wrigley Field in Chicago.

But the great pitching from Tyler Anderson, combined with great batting by the team, gave them the victory by a grand margin of 7-0. This win brought enjoyment to the fans and players.

Tyler Anderson pitched like a pro and kept the Chicago Cubs from scoring

Tyler Anderson was the hero of the game. He pitched for eight full innings and did not allow the Cubs to score even a single time. He only gave away three hits and didn't walk any players, so he didn't give the Cubs any free chances. He also knocked 10 batters off through fanning. That was the highest record that he had so far. It became very challenging for the Cubs to do anything. At a certain moment of the game, he fanned 13 consecutive batters.

Tyler Anderson required only 98 pitches to pitch eight innings. His concentration, control, and composure calmed the team throughout the contest. It was one of his best games in life, and it arrived at the best possible time for the Angels.

The Angels' batters delivered good support with smart and aggressive hits

As the Cubs retired Tyler Anderson, the rest of the Angels squad ensured they were scoring runs on the board. Every player on the lineup collected a hit for themselves during the game, a reflection of how everybody played well together as a team. Jo Adell posted his 14th home run of the season, which contributed to the prowess of the overall score of the team. Logan O'Hoppe and Zach Neto also had RBI hits that brought other players home.
The team collected 12 hits in total and played confidently and with energy. Their powerful hitting provided Tyler Anderson with the support he required, and it allowed the team to play carefree.
This 7-0 win was the top highlight for the Angels. It snapped their losing streak and showed that they still have the vigor to play. If Tyler Anderson and the team keep playing like this, the Angels can look forward to more wins this season.
