Angels 6, Rangers 5
Mark Trumbo capped a five-run fourth inning with a three-run homer as host Los Angeles posted a rare victory over division-rival Texas.
Mike Trout recorded three hits and an RBI while Erick Aybar went 2-for-4 and scored twice for the Angels, who snapped a seven-game losing streak against the Rangers and improved to 3-10 in the season series.
Alex Rios homered and drove in two runs while Elvis Andrus did the same in his return from a back injury for Texas, which fell one-half game behind first-place Oakland in the American League West.
The Rangers jumped out to a 3-0 lead before the Angels rallied in the fourth against Matt Garza (9-4). Trout and Kole Calhoun delivered RBI singles before Trumbo swatted his team-leading 30th home run to left-center field, putting Los Angeles ahead for good.
C.J. Wilson (15-6) yielded four runs and seven hits over 6 2/3 innings in recording his seventh straight victory and first in three career decisions against his former team.
