Rangers Drop Angels with Late Score
In a close game at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Texas Rangers edged the Los Angeles Angels, 4-3. Texas left fielder Joc Pederson earned the nod as player of the game. He went 3-4 with 2 home runs. Los Angeles's current losing streak is now 4 games.

Had Bryce Harper not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 1st, Harper hit a 2-run home run. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Rangers.

"I felt good up there," said Harper. "I saw the ball well."
