Rangers Deal Angels 5-2 Defeat
Lawrence Butler was a major factor in the 5-2 Texas win over Los Angeles. The Rangers right fielder went 2-2 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times. Roki Sasaki was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 1 run on 2 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. Camilo Doval notched his 9th save in 11 chances.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Matt Vierling? The Texas first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rangers on top, 2-1. For the game, Vierling had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

Vierling called the win "a collective effort."

With this game in the books, Texas is 44-52, Los Angeles 45-50.
