Slumping offense gives Lewis no margin for error

ANAHEIM -- Rangers starter Colby Lewis had a 1-0 lead going into the sixth inning. Rangers manager Jeff Banister thought his slumping offense should have given Lewis a bigger lead, but they twice were unable to get a runner home from third with less than two outs.

"If we get those runs in, it separates us and gives us more room," Banister said.

Instead Lewis had little margin for error and the Angels took advantage of it. The Angels scored three runs in the inning and held on for a 4-1 victory on Saturday night.
