Amazing the record the Angels have compiled seeing as the matchup actually favors Texas. Just barely. The series has been close so far this season with California winning 4 and the Rangers taking 3.
A Burroughs single in the bottom of the first looked like it would put Texas on the board but Harrah was thrown out at home trying to score from second.
Broberg had a no hitter through three.
After three: California 0 Texas 0.
Kosco got the Angels first hit with one out in the fourth. A walk and an error later and the bases were loaded. Spencer then tagged a grand slam.
In the bottom of the fifth, May struck out Broberg to record his 90th K of the season.
After six: California 4 Texas 0.
Broberg returned the favor in the 7th, striking out May for his 70th K on the season.
Burroughs made sure the Rangers avoided the shutout as he hit a solo shot in the eighth. Lloyd Allen immediately came in to replace May. Allen entered the game second in the AL in saves. Allen finished off the last two innings to give the Angels their fifth straight win and the Rangers their fifth straight loss.
Final score: California 4 Texas 1.

Again, the matchups favor Texas. But, so far, the results have favored the Angels.
Foster started off by striking out Maddox to record his 40th strikeout of the season.
In the top of the second, Torborg got an RBI single as another error came back to haunt the Rangers. Foster followed up with a double but Torborg was thrown out at home trying to score from first.
The Angels loaded the bases with two out in the third, thanks to another Texas error. But Howard robbed Cardenas of a base hit to prevent any damage.
After three: California 1 Texas 0.
The Rangers loaded the bases with two out in the fifth but Howard grounded out to end the inning.
After six: California 1 Texas 0.
Paul Lindblad pitched the ninth for Texas and got the 1-2-3.
With a runner on first and one out in the bottom of the ninth, Don Rose replaced Foster on the mound for California and he got Nelson to hit into the game ending 5-4-3.
Final score: California 1 Texas 0.
