HOUSTON — The bottom of the order came to the rescue for the Angels.

After getting four hits in the first 17 innings of the series against the Houston Astros, the Angels strung together four straight hits to spark a three-run rally in the ninth inning of a 4-1 victory over the Astros on Saturday night.

With one out in a tie game, Luis Rengifo, Logan O’Hoppe, Matthew Lugo and Oswald Peraza – the bottom four hitters in the order – had consecutive hits, producing two runs.

The first three were singles that loaded the bases. Peraza then launched a fly ball to the right field fence, barely eluding the grasp of outfielder Cam Smith, as two runs scored. An out later, Yoán Moncada and Mike Trout drew back-to-back walks, pushing home an insurance run.
