Angels rout Rangers 13-1 behind Adell’s two-homer night

Angels overwhelm Rangers 13-1 with 15-hit outburst

The Los Angeles Angels beat the Texas Rangers 13-1 on Wednesday at Globe Life Field in Arlington, piling up 15 hits and three home runs in a one-sided matchup. Los Angeles grabbed the lead in the first inning and never let go, with Jo Adell’s two-homer, five-RBI game setting the tone for the runaway result.

Los Angeles started the scoring with a run in the first, then gradually stretched the margin before breaking the game open in the middle innings. The Angels scored two in the fourth, four in the fifth and two more in the sixth to turn a quiet start into a blowout. They added two runs in the eighth and two in the ninth, while Texas was held scoreless until the eighth.

The game’s decisive stretch came from the fourth through sixth innings, when the Angels stacked up eight runs and erased any chance for Texas to keep it close. What had been a 1-0 game after three quickly became a lopsided contest as Los Angeles kept traffic on the bases and continued to cash in with extra-base damage.

Adell led the Angels’ offense with two hits, three runs, five RBI and two home runs. Vaughn Grissom added a huge all-around line with four hits, two runs and four RBI, while Zachary Neto collected three hits and scored three times. Mike Trout contributed a home run and two RBI. For Texas, Kyle Higashioka supplied the lone highlight with a solo homer.

The Angels finished with a 15-3 edge in hits and a 3-1 advantage in home runs, which told the story of the night. Los Angeles scored 13 runs without committing an error and got production throughout the lineup, while Texas managed only one run and three hits. The Rangers also were blanked through seven innings before Higashioka’s eighth-inning homer.

This result gave the Angels a decisive bounce-back win in the matchup after the Rangers had won 8-3 on 2026-07-08. More than the split of the two most recent meetings, the margin and method stood out: Los Angeles controlled the game early, kept adding on, and never allowed Texas to build any offensive pressure beyond a single swing in the eighth.

The final score leaves this one as a straightforward statement game for the Angels, who got contributions from stars and supporting pieces alike. For the Rangers, the takeaway was how little offense they could generate against a rolling Los Angeles attack. The same opponents are listed to meet again on 2026-08-22 and 2026-08-23.
