ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- 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.
Corey Seager launched a two-run shot off Yusei Kikuchi to put the Rangers ahead
2-0 two batters into the game. Josh Smith had an RBI double for Texas that tied
it at 5 in the eighth.
Luis Rengifo doubled off Rangers reliever Chris Martin (0-5) to open the ninth
and went to third on Kevin Newman's one-out single to left field. Zach Neto was
intentionally walked to load the bases.
Texas manager Bruce Bochy summoned Milner for a lefty-lefty matchup with
Schanuel, who fought back from an 0-2 count before taking a 3-2 changeup below
the strike zone for his second career walk-off RBI.
The Angels turned a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 lead in the sixth when Rengifo
singled with two outs, d'Arnaud hit an RBI double and LaMonte Wade Jr. followed
with a pinch-hit RBI single.
But the Rangers tied it against reliever Sam Bachman with two outs in the
eighth. Jake Burger reached on a wild pitch when strike three in the dirt got
past d'Arnaud and then scored from first on Smith's double.
An anticipated pitchers' duel between All-Star starters didn't materialize, as
deGrom gave up three runs and five hits in five innings while Kikuchi allowed
four runs and six hits in five innings.
