Halos rookie Klassen holds Astros to 1 hit in dominant 7-inning gem

▪

Los Angeles Angels rookie right-hander George Klassen delivered a masterful performance on Tuesday night, tossing seven scoreless innings and allowing just one hit to lead the Angels to a 3-1 victory over the Houston Astros. Making his fifth career start, Klassen struck out a career-high seven batters, retiring 19 of the final 21 hitters he faced after navigating a tense first inning. The only hit allowed was a first-inning single to Jose Altuve. Offensive support came from Josh Lowe, who belted a solo home run, alongside RBI contributions from Nolan Schanuel and Zach Neto. The win, Klassen’s first on the road in his young career, marks a significant milestone for the 24-year-old prospect’s development. The victory represents a resilient effort for the Angels against the AL West-leading Astros, who have now dropped three consecutive games while struggling to generate momentum against the rookie’s precision pitching and secondary repertoire.
