Through two games since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma, the 20-year-old has gone 1-for-6 (.167 average) with a walk.

    Angels' Zach Neto: Belts walk-off blast

Adam Frazier opened the frame with a single to break up the no-no, and Neto then ended the contest in dramatic fashion with a two-run blast to center field. The long ball was Neto's eighth of the campaign, and he's added seven stolen bases, 31 runs and 22 RBI while slashing .225/.336/.412 through 48 contests.
