The Texas Rangers beat the Los Angeles Angels, 10-2, at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The win was largely due to the efforts of right fielder Bryce Harper, who captured player of the game honors. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Jon Lester got the win, improving to 16-5. He pitched 6.2 innings, giving up 5 hits and 1 run, while striking out 6 and walking 1. Texas is now 84-56, 5 games up in the American League West Division.

Eric Thames, who is tied for 4th in the AL with a .414 on-base percentage, chipped in for Texas with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the first. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 2 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Thames.
