Rangers Earn 6-5 Win Versus Angels
Roki Sasaki was superb against Los Angeles. The right-hander, who is tied for 4th in the AL with a 1.10 WHIP, had a splitter that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Rangers victory. The score was 6-5. The win belonged to Keegan Thompson in relief. His record improves to 6-2. Andrew Chafin took the loss for Los Angeles. The loss makes Los Angeles 68-76.

Texas got a knockout punch from Heriberto Hernandez. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"The crowd was juiced," said Sasaki.
