The Los Angeles Angels got a superb performance from pitcher Stephen Strasburg. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Texas. The Rangers won the game, 5-4. In spite of the loss, Strasburg was named the player of the game. He threw 7 innings allowing 3 runs. The first-place Rangers, at 78-47, now lead their division by 9 games.

Texas took a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning. With no one out, first baseman Eric Thames hit a 2-run home run that set the crowd abuzz.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Thames. "And not try to do too much."
