Adolis García’s HR in 8th inning gives Rangers 5-4 victory over Angels and extends win streak to 5
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Adolis García broke out of a 1-for-19 slump with a solo homer in the eighth inning and the Texas Rangers extended their winning streak to a season-high five games, defeating the Los Angeles Angels 5-4 Tuesday night.
The Angels lost for the eighth time in nine games despite two homers and three hits from Logan O’Hoppe.
Los Angeles had a chance to take the lead in the seventh inning. The Angels had the bases loaded with two outs after Anthony Rendon drew a walk off José Leclerc (4-4), but Nolan Schanuel grounded out to first baseman Nathaniel Lowe.
García was batting .115 in July (3 for 26) before he drove a sinker from Luis García (3-1) into the elevated stands in right-center. Despite the struggles at the plate, García has reached base in 17 of his last 18 games.
