- On Monday night, May 12, 2025, Taylor Ward hit a ninth-inning grand slam to lead the Angels to a 9-5 win over the Padres in San Diego.

- Starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi delivered six innings with two earned runs despite a rare fielding error that allowed two Padres runs, while Suarez's flawless save streak ended with five runs charged to him.
- Manager Ron Washington praised his team for grinding great at-bats against hard throwers, noting Suarez's pitches reached 100.6 mph and highlighted the team's positive recent signs despite a 17-23 record.
