Adolis Garcia went 3–for–4 with a home run, Leody Taveras went 4–for–5 and drove in four runs and the Texas Rangers closed out a road series win on Sunday, May 7, with a 16–8 rout of the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif.

Texas fell behind early when Anthony Rendon sent Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani home with a three-run homer in the first inning off Rangers starter Martin Perez. Perez surrendered seven earned runs and eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings.
