Game 18 - @ Angels (9-8)

Rangers 6 - Heuer W (2-0), Allard SV (1)
Angels 5 - Sandoval H (1), Mayers BS (1), Cishek L (0-1)
11 innings

The Rangers tie up the series in a topsy-turvy game that sees the lead change several times, before Nate Lowe ties up the game at 5-5 in the 8th with a 2-run home run to ultimately send the game to extras - his team-leading 5th homer of the year. A scoreless 10th is followed up by catcher Sam Huff hitting an RBI-single to take the lead, a lead which the Rangers would secure with a combination of Codi Heuer and Kolby Allard in the 11th.

Transactions

We claim reliever Keone Kela from the Padres, who makes a return to the Rangers after being traded by the team in 2018 to the Pirates. Kela is rocking a 2.95 ERA in 7.0 IP, striking out nearly 12 batters per 9 IP. If he can bring his BB/9 down from its current 3.9, his power could be very useful in the bullpen. We will complete the Angels series, and find a spot for him on the off day afterwards.
