Gavin Lux had a two-run homer among his two hits and Brady Singer allowed one run in six innings as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-1 in Anaheim, Calif., on Monday.

All things considered, Terry Francona probably couldn't have asked for a better start to his team's key nine-game road trip.

In all likelihood, the Angels' 2025 season will be largely forgettable regardless of how many extra-inning games they win. But the resilience demonstrated by their young players could help build confidence that will last them into 2026 and beyond.
