After rookie Nasim Nuez sacrificed automatic runner Jacob Young to third against Matt Moore (5-3), Angels manager Ron Washington summoned right-hander Ben Joyce from the bullpen. Call worked a full count, seeing three consecutive pitches Kyle Hendricks Jersey faster than 100 mph before lining a 99-mph fastball off the drawn-in Luis Guillorme at second base to score the winning run. It just looked like it was going right in his glove, so I was kind of deflated because I hit it hard, Call said. Then it just happened fast and I saw the ball kind of floating and Im like, Oh my gosh, you didnt catch it, and its time to have some fun. Washington called on Joyce to make a potential squeeze bunt more challenging for the Nationals. He said Joyce had done his job getting a hard-hit ball to an infielder.

Every time we get to that ninth inning or 10th inning, whatever it is, hes the guy, Martinez said. I love having him out there. I know hes going to give everything hes got. A lot of times, it works out really well for him. Rendon logged his first seven seasons with the Nationals before signing a seven-year, $245 million contract with the Angels, but had not played in Washington since helping the franchise win the World Series in 2019.
