"We had some big outs, no doubt," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, whose team has won eight of its last 11 games despite having 10 players on the disabled list.
"I think it's just us coming together as a team," Tropeano said. "We're picking each other up."
Holland took the loss despite 6 2/3 strong innings, and the Rangers had a three-game winning streak come to an end.
