Travis d’Arnaud swatted a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning on Sunday, propelling the Angels to a 6-4 victory over the Dodgers and an improbable three-game sweep of their weekend series at Dodger Stadium.
The Angels led 4-1 for most of the ballgame, but that lead was erased when Will Smith clobbered a two-out, three-run homer in the seventh inning. The 36-year-old backstop answered right back in the next half inning, victimizing Anthony Banda for a 401-foot (104.5 mph EV) solo shot that put the Halos ahead to stay. That blast was his first home run of the 2025 season. He finished the afternoon 2-for-3 plus a walk and is now hitting .200/.250/.317 with three RBI in his first 64 plate appearances.
