Rangers fall below .500 after defeat to Angels in Anaheim

The Texas Rangers suffered a defeat against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium in Anaheim on 10 August 2026, a result that drops the club below a .500 winning percentage and widens the gap behind the Houston Astros in the West division standings.

The final score was recorded as 60-61, though the Rangers managed only two runs against five for the Angels. Corey Seager provided the offensive spark for Texas with a solo home run, giving the Rangers an early 2-0 lead in the second inning.

Cal Quantrill started on the mound for the Rangers, pitching five innings and allowing one run. However, the bullpen conceded three runs in the seventh inning after Quantrill exited the game, including a run that scored on a ground ball that bounced off the first base bag.

The loss leaves the Rangers with a 1-5 record at Angel Stadium this season. They have scored just eight runs in three games against the Angels this week and currently trail the Astros by approximately 2.5 games in the division, having lost several matchups to Houston earlier in the season.

The series concludes with a final game where the Rangers will turn to Jacob deGrom to face Angels right-handed pitcher Walbert Urena. The first pitch is scheduled for 9:07 pm CDT, with coverage available on the Rangers Sports Network.
