Angels Earn 5-4 Win Versus Rangers
Both teams had their chances, but the California Angels eventually prevailed.

The inspired effort of Texas right fielder Blake Ballard was not enough to prevent a loss, 5-4, to the California Angels. Ballard was 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Early on, the Angels, at 19-8, have excelled.

California used the timely hitting of Javier Trujillo to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Angels ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"The vibe's good," said California manager Dakota Wise. "We've got to keep it going."
