The Los Angeles Angels snapped a three-game losing streak on Tuesday with some strong pitching and a bit of good luck.
Jose Soriano (2-0) pitched six two-hit innings and the bullpen was just as good as the Halos beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 in the Windy City. He struck out four batters and walked just two.

The Cubs (now 2-3 overall) got good pitching, too, as Jameson Taillon worked 4.2 shutout innings, yielding two hits. He struck out three batters and walked four.

It was in the sixth inning the the game was decided. Logan O’Hoppe hit a ground ball single to Alex Bergman which was deflected, allowing Jorge Soler and Jeimer Candelario to score.

The save went to Jordan Romano –his second of 2026 – who pitched the ninth inning, striking out one batter and walking another.
The Angels will face the Cubs again on Wednesday morning and be home on Friday for the home opener in Anaheim against the Seattle Mariners.

Shohei Ohtani on Tuesday began his 2026 pitching debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers in style on Tuesday, working six innings and yielding just one hit as the Blue Crew defeated the Cleveland Guardians 4-1 at Chavez Ravine.

He was no slouch at the plate either, batting 1-for-3 and walking twice as the home team improved its record to 4-1 in the young season.
Max Muncy was 2-for-3 including a home run (his first of 2026) and Andy Pages batted 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Overall, the Dodgers collected 10 hits.

With the win, the team leads the NL West by two games over the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants, each 2-3).
