The Los Angeles Angels struggled at the plate and only scored two runs as they lost 3-2 to the Texas Rangers on Tuesday evening. The Angles offense was the reason they lost the game as they only had six hits and left 12 runners on base.
Garret Anderson had both rbi for the Halos as he had a two run rbi single in the fifth inning. Torii Hunter and Howie Kendrick both scored on the play. The first three hitters in the lineup went a combined 0-12 in the game as they just didn’t get the job done.
Joe Saunders pitched a pretty good game as the tossed all eight innings. Saunders gave up six hits and three runs in the game as he took the loss to fall to 12-5. Saunders gave up a sac fly to Josh Hamilton in the first inning, then a solo home run to Chris Davis in the fifth, and then a rbi single to Hamilton in the sixth inning.
The Halos and Rangers will now play game three of the four game series on Wednesday night. The series is tied at 1-1 and the Angels will be hoping to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
