Velazquez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over Oakland.

Offense was at a minimum for both teams in the contest, so Velazquez's fifth-inning solo shot provided some breathing room for the Angels' pitching staff in the combined shutout. The long ball was just the second of Velazquez's big-league career and first of the 2022 campaign. The infielder is known much more for his speed, having notched as many as 50 thefts in a minor-league season but never surpassing 14 homers.
