Rangers Rout Angels 20-3 Behind Trio of 3-Run Homers, 22 Hits

The lopsided win doubled as a snapshot of Texas coping with Nathan Eovaldi's injury, with the Angels' bullpen stretched to using a position player.

Overview

  • Adolis García, Joc Pederson and Kyle Higashioka each launched three-run home runs, and Corey Seager added his team-leading 21st with a two-run shot.
  • Each of García, Pederson and Higashioka drove in five runs as Texas recorded its highest run total since 2011, a rarity noted by ESPN Research.
  • Angels infielder Oswald Peraza took the mound in the seventh and, on 21 pitches clocked between 30 and 40 mph, allowed eight runs while recording one out.
  • Called up from Triple-A Salt Lake before the game, Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz was tagged for 11 runs (10 earned) in 3 1/3 innings, both career highs.
  • With Nathan Eovaldi likely out with a rotator cuff strain, Jacob Latz opened a bullpen game, Jacob Webb earned the win, and Wyatt Langford reached base five times and scored four runs.
