ARLINGTON, Texas\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/span>Wyatt Langford lined a shot off the wall in left field to bring home Alejandro Osuna in the ninth inning, lifting Texas to a 7-6 victory<\/a> over the Angels<\/a> after the Rangers blew a five-run lead Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Langford struck out three of his first four times up as the designated hitter after getting activated from the 10-day injured list in his return from a left hamstring strain.<\/p>\n

Osuna led off the ninth with a single and went to second on pinch-hitter Nicky Lopez\u2019s sacrifice bunt. Langford lined a 1-and-1 fastball from former Texas closer Kirby Yates<\/a> (0-4) over Jose Siri\u2019s head for the winning single.<\/p>\n

Jo Adell<\/a> had a tying, pinch-hit single to cap a five-run seventh a night after homering twice in the Angels\u2019 13-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Cole Winn (4-2) got Adell on a sharp liner to center field to end the ninth with the potential go-ahead run at third after replacing All-Star closer Jacob Latz, who went 1\u2154 innings in his first outing in nine days.<\/p>\n

Nathan Eovaldi struck out a season-high 10 for Texas but failed to get his 10th win for the fifth consecutive start. He exited with no outs in the seventh after Dezner Guzman reached on catcher\u2019s interference, Logan O\u2019Hoppe walked and Wade Meckler\u2019s single scored Guzman.<\/p>\n

Peyton Gray replaced Eovaldi and gave up a two-run single to Nolan Schanuel, who had four hits, and an RBI single to Jorge Soler.<\/p>\n

Brandon Nimmo, Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue homered for Texas in the first four innings against Reid Detmers<\/a>. The left-hander hadn\u2019t given up more than one long ball in any of his first 18 starts.<\/p>\n

Up next: <\/b>Neither team announced the rotation for its final series before the All-Star break. Indications are the Angels will go with RHP Grayson Rodriguez (2-2, 8.06 ERA) on Friday at Minnesota. He has been on the injured list since mid-June because of lower back tightness. Texas is home against Houston.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
