She cheered and clapped for her grandson as he rounded the bases and gave the Angels their first run of the day.

“Maybe we brought him a little luck,” his grandma said after he reached home plate.

This isn’t Ward’s first season in the MLB as he’s played with the Angels since 2018. However, it is the most prominent season he’s had as he’s appeared in the most games this season out of every year he’s played. 

Through 100 games, Ward has 95 hits, 53 runs and 45 RBI. His Thursday home run was his 17th this season. His previous season-high home run count was eight.
