The Texas Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 13-1 in a lopsided game at Anaheim. Rangers pitchers, including Nathan Eovaldi who allowed one unearned run over six innings, helped contain the Angels' offense. Offensively, Jake Burger and Wyatt Langford each homered and drove in four runs, contributing to the Rangers' seven extra-base hits. For the Angels, starting pitcher José Soriano struggled in the fourth inning, walking five batters and allowing five earned runs over four innings. Prospect Sam Aldegheri also had a difficult outing, giving up five earned runs in two innings while throwing 42 pitches in a single inning, raising concerns about the team's handling of its pitching prospects. Infielder Kevin Newman pitched three innings in relief, allowing three runs on four hits, including two home runs, but did not issue a walk. The Angels' record fell to 44-47 following the defeat.
