Rangers Lose To Angels

{fshare id=2652}

The Texas Rangers could not hold a 2-run lead as the red-hot Angels came from behind to win 4-2 Friday night at Los Angeles.  The Angels, who have won 9 of their last 10 games, move within 4 1/2 games of the struggling Rangers.

Rangers starting pitcher Colby Lewis is credited with the loss, though he only gave up 2 earned runs.  A hit batter in the 7th, followed by an Ian Kinsler error, gave the Angels the lead.  Lewis went 6 2/3 innings, allowing 4 hits and striking out 5.

Texas could only manage 8 scattered hits in the game.  Angels pitcher Jerome Williams held the Rangers at bay for 7 innings to earn his 6th season win.

The Rangers will put Yu Darvish on the mound for game 2 tonight against C.J. Wilson.  Gametime is 9:05pm Central.
