Angels 7, Rangers 4

Arlington, Texas – Gary Matthews Jr. snapped out of a slump with a tiebreaking, three-run double, and the Los Angeles Angels rallied to beat Texas on Tuesday as the Rangers ended their first homestand of the season with their fifth straight loss.

Matthews was in a 3-for-27 slide before his double to left-center in the sixth inning off Josh Rupe (0-1) broke a 4-all tie.

Rupe took over to start the sixth for Kevin Millwood, who left after 70 pitches due to a bruised left shin sustained when he was hit by a batted ball in the second. The Rangers said Millwood came out because his leg started to stiffen up on him.

Darren Oliver (1-0), like Matthews a former Ranger, threw 22â3 scoreless innings in relief of starter Dustin Moseley.
