On the bright side, the Rangers did score eight runs which has sometimes been a whole week’s worth of runs for this year’s club. Player of the Game: Marcus Semien drove in four runs and hit the two-run home run in the seventh that looked like it would propel the Rangers to victory before the bullpen collapsed.

The Rangers, typically one of baseball’s most impatient teams at the plate, strayed from their usual habits in Tuesday’s win.

The Rangers got five runs in the fourth, four more in the fifth, a run apiece in the sixth and seventh, and two more in the eighth. Overall they had seven extra base hits — including solo home runs from Corey Seager and Jake Burger and a two-run shot by Wyatt Langford — and six hits in ample RISP situations.

Nolan Schanuel drew a bases-loaded walk from Hoby Milner in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Los Angeles Angels a 6-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday night. Travis d'Arnaud hit an early two-run homer off Texas starter Jacob deGrom and finished with three RBIs.

The Los Angeles Angels expected a boost with the return of third baseman Yoán Moncada, who was activated for Tuesday night's game against the Texas Rangers after missing five weeks because of right knee inflammation.

All-Star starting pitchers Jacob deGrom and Yusei Kikuchi were supposed to be locked in a pitchers’ duel tonight but deGrom had his worst outing (5 IP, 3 R) since May and Kikuchi seemed hurt a couple of times and also last only five innings while allowing four runs.
