Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels

Mike Trout hits 2-run homer and Angels clinch series over Rangers with 5-2 win

Zach Neto walked to open the bottom of the first inning before Trout launched his 13th home run of the year over the center-field wall for a 2-0 lead. Neto scored again in the fifth on Schanuel's double to make it 3-1.

Schanuel exited after his hit with left calf tightness. Vaughn Grissom took over at first base.

Oswald Peraza added insurance in the eighth with a two-run single.

Walbert Ureña (2-4) threw five innings, allowing one run and five hits while striking out six. Kirby Yates earned his first save of the season by pitching a hitless ninth.

Nathan Eovaldi (5-5) gave up three runs and five hits in seven innings while striking out six for the Rangers.

Ezequiel Duran hit a sacrifice fly in the second for Texas’ first run, and Kyle Higashioka added his third homer of the year in the seventh on a 395-foot shot to center.

The Angels had more hits (8) than strikeouts (6) for the second consecutive game and have won two in a row for the first time since May 5-6.

Up next Reid Detmers (1-5, 5.07 ERA) pitches Sunday for the Angels, while the Rangers had not announced a scheduled starter for the series finale.
