it's gone a leadoff home run for Taylor Ward he's been on base in 17 straight games and the angels out to a quick lead boy is even been on fire of late a lot of power a good swing on the slider was right down the heart of the plate 102.4 off the bat Halos when early lead nothing in one the count here to Netto the one strike pitch comes in that hit something I think it hit Netto indeed Neto hit in the hand 15th time that Net's been plunked this year boy not the start that lighter was hold four n in scoring position now and that's high in the air out into short left field Duran coming in Smith going out but Duran will'll take it wild pitch from lighter putting Netto at third base Anthony rone as he lifts the Fly ball to right center field should be deep enough to score Netto Langford is over so is Garcia Garcia has the better arm but he's flat footed as he makes the catch nto comes home and scores the second run two nothing Angels Micky monc stands in with two out nobody on two runs home for the Angels here in the first inning and there's a swing in a Miss he strikes out moniac his first strike out of the night on the mound for the Visiting Angels is the 34-year-old left-hander from Las Vegas Nevada Tyler Anderson the nine-year big league veteran 10 and 12 with a 355 earn run average we'll see Simon Smith and young up at the top of the order pops this one up on the infield as Brandon Drury gets under it at second base and retires Marcus Simeon Josh Smith who's back in the lineup for the Rangers Fly ball to Right Center as drory goes out theodosio takes over coming in from center field to make the catch so the first big league action for Bryce theodosio and he handles it perfectly that will bring Josh Young to the plate swing and ball popped into shallow Right Center going back on him making a nice running over the shoulder grab is Brandon drory that was a snow cone and he holds on to it and the inning is over two nothing angels as we go to the top of the second inning and we have the roof open Rangers find in the uh natural conditions today and as far as the conditions go it is a little Breezy M's been trying to grow that mustache for about a week and a half now it's barely coming in swing and a miss fast ball at 97 at the top of the zone and that pitch right there from lighter is incredibly tough to hit and the more consistently he can command the fast ball at top of the Zone the better off he's going to be Brandon Drury here's the next pitch that's lined the opposite way that's going to roll on out to to Garcia and that's a good job of hitting there two strike single for dores one out base runner and Nico kavadas will be the next batter and that's lifted out to center field Langford angling back and toward left field he'll make the catch jury returns to First and that brings up teod doio two two pitch swing in a Miss slider strikes him out on a fast ball down to shoot and that ends the inning so a couple of strikeouts for lighter he strands a one out single we go to the bottom of the second two nothing Angels dois Garcia lead off here in the second inning in a two nothing ball game strikes out here against Tyler Anderson he went with the heater in tied him up and Wyatt Langford will be the next batter now lford strikes out here against Anderson as well so Tyler Anderson back-to-back punch outs here in the second and Nathaniel low will be the next batter Nathaniel low on the cutter that's strike three as ohappy throws the first and Tyler Anderson strikes out the side of the second right top half of inning number four middle third coming up here for the Angels who lead it two to nothing liner has already struck out five career high at the big league level Anthony rendone first up here against Jack lighter there's a bouncer pass the m to Second and a good play by Marcus Simeon one away and that brings up Micky monia and he'll bounce one right to second base making it easy for Marcus Hy drilling his 19th home run of the Year yesterday number 20 if he gets there would be first from an Angels catcher since 20 and that's hit hard out the left field Duran racing back toward the corner leaps and makes the catch bangs into that fence and that ends the inning Ezekiel Durant throws himself into the padded wall in the left field corner and comes away without number three What A Catch lford ready to go here as we start the home half of the fifth lford smashes it down to Third and randone I don't know just kind of whiffed it hit his glove but he didn't squeeze it and so Langford is on and that'll be an error on rendone Langford is on board here Nathaniel low the batter that's outside ball four so an error and a walk and uh this weekend anyway we're going to call this a rally Duran is a guy that's very aggressively and that Ball's blasted out to the alley left field that gets down base hit one run is in low heading to third they're going to wave him Durant around second holds here comes the throw not in time and now Durant can head to Third Base he ties the game with a double moves up on the throwing error and we've got a new one well it wasn't a three-run home run but just a two-run double this is just a rocket into the left center field Gap one hop past the outfielder Nathaniel loow doing a great job watch his route right here coming around second base Tony Beasley sending him great call right here you see be speeding up so lighter walks nto second walk issued by lighter and Bruce Boi up the top step he's going to go to the bullpen so ligher goes five innings in a batter he allows two runs both earned on two hits two walks six strikeouts for lighter and he's going to give way to Chaffin Angels 0 for one with runners in scoring position tonight in the dirt it's getting away from himim as it rolls away and here comes nto trying to store the wild pitch throw home not in time it gets away from chaen and now shaunell ends up at second base on the Play Boy this is a breaking ball Nick Kicks Down and Jonah Heim has no idea where this baseball is and when he finally identifies it towards the Rangers dug out down that first base side nto alertly paid attention shanell goes to third base with randone bouncing out now this is a situation here you want to see moniac get that Runner home he lines it to right center field that's a base hit for moniac off the Leander to score shell and the angels lead it 4 to2 that'll make Micky moniac real happy it wasn't squared up necessarily but he got it in the air and got the job done can still be dangerous in a spot like this tying runs on Bas thanks to backto back walks amados will try to face a veteran a tough hitter in Simeon here with two out and two on oh he lines out up the middle that's a base hit it gets a run to the plate Kelly hustling to Third and he's in there on the single by Simeon and the Rangers cut it to a one run deficit that's a huge stolen base now a base hit to give the Rangers a lead this ball lined out into right field base hit one run is in here comes Simeon the throw cut off Simeon scores and Smith Ted out just as he has given the Rangers the five to four lead get Garcia he does move the Run young is over third base now got a big RBI guy at the plate in white Lanford and that one is in the air out to left field coming on Ward goes into a slide he missed it young scores heading to Second lford and he hustles in for a double Rangers add to their advantage and now lead six to four another RBI it was going to be an RBI either way if Ward catches that young tags up but Ward unable to catch it and Langford able to turn it into a double hustling out of the box so Yates and the Rangers one out way here niik kavat coming up and a swing and that balls belted out to Center but going to hang up Janowski makes the catch this one's over a perfect ninth inning for Yates and the Rangers come from behind to win six to four well that offense sure woke up from the fifth Inning on as the Rangers started putting some runs up on the board and a couple of big two out RBI base hits by Marcus Simeon and Josh Smith
