Jose Altuve and Christian Walker rally Astros to 5-4 win over Angels in 10 innings

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jose Altuve scored the go-ahead run in the 10th inning on a popout to shallow center field, and Houston Astros left fielder Brice Matthews threw out Mike Trout at home plate in the bottom half to preserve a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.

Christian Walker hit an RBI single for Houston off Kirby Yates with one out in the ninth, tying it 4-all. Walker also had an RBI double in the third.

Altuve began the 10th as the automatic runner at second base and moved to third on Matthews' bunt single. Sam Aldegheri (1-1) struck out Cam Smith and got Jake Meyers to pop out to a backpedaling Nick Madrigal behind second. Altuve tagged up and took off, sliding in safely at the plate when catcher Logan O'Hoppe couldn't come up with an in-between hop on Madrigal's throw home.

O’Hoppe was charged with an error on the play, and Meyers was not credited with an RBI.

Trout started the bottom of the 10th as the automatic runner on second, but was erased trying to score on a leadoff single by Jose Siri. Bryan Abreu then struck out Jo Adell and retired Denzer Guzman on a liner to left for his fourth save.

Josh Hader (1-0) struck out the side in the ninth for the win.

Trey Mancini got three hits for the Angels in his first major league game since July 31, 2023, with the Chicago Cubs. Mancini had an RBI single in the first before O’Hoppe’s two-run double off Spencer Arrighetti to give the Angels a 3-0 lead.

Arrighetti allowed three runs on four hits and four walks in six innings.

Isaac Paredes doubled leading off the sixth and scored on a one-out double by LaMonte Wade Jr., who limped into second and was replaced by Matthews. Smith chased starter Grayson Rodriguez with an RBI double that tied it at 3.

Zach Neto hit his 13th homer — a solo shot off reliever Enyel De Los Santos — to put the Angels up 4-3 in the seventh.

Jeremy Peña drew a leadoff walk from Yates in the ninth and stole second before scoring on Walker's single.

Trout went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and a walk. He's mired in an 0-for-20 slump.

Astros RHP Kai-Wei Teng (3-4, 3.06 ERA) starts Tuesday opposite Angels RHP Walbert Ureña (3-4, 2.68).

BUNIA, Congo (AP) — At least 100 people have died from Ebola less than a month after authorities declared an outbreak of the disease in eastern Congo, authorities said.

Attacks on health workers from angry residents, skepticism among some locals and armed conflict in hot spots continue to challenge efforts to stop the spread.

Out of the 550 cases of the disease confirmed as of Sunday, there have been 101 deaths and 19 recoveries, according to the latest situation report late Monday. The number of cases though is believed to be higher because the outbreak was confirmed weeks late, and response has been challenging also because the virus has no approved vaccine or treatment.

The latest Ebola disease outbreak is caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus, which does not have an approved vaccine or treatment unlike the Zaire virus responsible for most of Congo’s past 16 outbreaks of the disease.
