Meanwhile, the Angels surged with a 7-0 shutout over Texas, extending their win streak to three games thanks to Walbert Ureña’s gem and standout performances from Mike Trout and Denzer Guzman. In preseason football, the Chargers opened with a 27-7 rout of Houston, where Amar Johnson shined with two TDs and a conversion under Coach Harbaugh’s pressure to secure roster spots. In WNBA action, the Sparks rallied with 21 straight fourth-quarter points but fell 85-81 to the Liberty, losing Cameron Brink to injury after a hard hit to the ribs.
