ARLINGTON, Texas (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Angels erupted for 13 runs on 15 hits Wednesday night at Globe Life Park, crushing the Texas Rangers 13-1 to snap a five-game losing streak and avoid a three-game sweep.

Jo Adell led the offensive onslaught with two home runs and five RBIs, while Vaughn Grissom collected four hits and drove in four runs. Mike Trout also homered as the Angels matched their second-highest run total of the season.

The Angels struck first in the top of the first inning. Zach Neto led off with a double and scored on a single by Grissom, giving Los Angeles a 1-0 lead. The score remained there until the fourth, when Grissom singled again and Adell followed with his 12th home run of the year, a two-run shot to right field that made it 3-0.

The game broke wide open in the fifth. Neto doubled, Trout walked, and Grissom singled to drive in Neto, putting runners at the corners. Adell then launched his second home run of the night, a three-run blast to center field that pushed the lead to 7-0. Adell’s 13th homer of the season capped a four-run inning.

Los Angeles added two more runs in the sixth. Josh Lowe walked, Neto singled, and after Trout grounded out, Grissom doubled to right field, scoring Lowe and Neto for a 9-0 cushion.

The Angels continued to pour it on in the eighth. Lowe singled, and Trout crushed his 18th home run of the season to left-center field, making it 11-0.

Texas avoided the shutout in the bottom of the eighth when Kyle Higashioka, serving as a pinch-hitter, drove a pitch to left-center for a solo home run, his sixth of the year. It was the lone bright spot for the Rangers, who managed only three hits all game.

Los Angeles tacked on two more runs in the ninth. Adell was hit by a pitch, Denzer Guzman doubled, and Oswald Peraza lifted a sacrifice fly to score Adell. Jose Siri followed with a sharp single that brought home Guzman, accounting for the final 13-1 margin.

Angels starting pitcher Walbert Ureña allowed just one hit over four innings, striking out three and walking four. He left with a comfortable lead and was followed by a parade of relievers. Samy Natera Jr. earned the win with two overpowering innings of relief, striking out five without allowing a hit. Natera improved to 1-0 on the season. Mitch Farris tossed a scoreless eighth with two strikeouts, and Ryan Zeferjahn and José Fermin each worked a clean ninth, though Fermin allowed the Higashioka homer.

The Angels’ victory came one night after they lost 8-3 to the Rangers in the series opener. Texas had won five of its previous seven games but could not solve Los Angeles pitching on Wednesday.

Rangers starter MacKenzie Gore took the loss, falling to 5-8. He allowed three runs on five hits over three-plus innings, walking two and striking out five. Gavin Collyer, Ben Peoples and Kyle Higashioka – who also pitched after his pinch-hit appearance – worked in relief for Texas.

Adell’s performance was particularly notable given his recent struggles. In his previous four games, he had gone 2 for 4 on Tuesday against the Rangers, 3 for 4 with two RBIs on Sunday against Boston, and 0 for 2 and 0 for 4 in the two games before that. Wednesday’s outburst lifted his season totals.

Grissom, who had been productive throughout the series, continued his hot hitting with a 4-for-5 night that included a double and four RBIs. Trout added the two-run homer in the eighth and finished 1 for 4 with a walk.

Defensively, the Angels played errorless ball behind their pitchers. The Rangers committed no errors but managed only three hits: a single by Josh Smith in the third, a single by Alejandro Osuna in the seventh, and Higashioka’s homer. Los Angeles outhit Texas 15-3.

The game lasted 2 hours, 48 minutes in front of an announced crowd of 23,288.

With the win, the Angels improved to 37-56 on the season. The Rangers fell to 46-46, dropping back to the .500 mark.

The two teams will meet again Thursday for the final game of the series. Afterwards, Los Angeles travels to Minnesota for a three-game weekend set against the Twins, while Texas returns home to host the Houston Astros for a weekend series.
