45-55 - Rangers implode in Anaheim for 9-7 loss to Angels

The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Anaheim Angels scored nine runs.

Allowing five 8th inning runs is not a recipe for a baseball victory, it seems.

Player of the Game: Meibrys Viloria hit his first big league home run in three years — a two-run shot — and first for the Rangers. At one point it looked like a homer that provided the cushion necessary for a victory until the Texas bullpen did its Texas bullpen thing.

Up Next: The Rangers can still claim a series victory over the Angels with RHP Dane Dunning next up for Texas against LHP Reid Detmers for Anaheim.
