Aug 13, 2026; Anaheim, California, USA; Los Angeles Angels pitcher Walbert Urena (57) pitches during the second inning against the Texas Rangers at Angel Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images Mike Trout went 3-for-5, drove in a run and scored another while rookie Walbert Urena allowed two hits over six innings, leading the Los Angeles Angels to their third straight win, a 7-0 drubbing of the Texas Rangers on Thursday night in Anaheim, Calif.
It was Trout's second consecutive three-hit game. He has eight career stretches of at least back-to-back games with three-plus hits, but he hadn't accomplished the feat since 2018.
Denzer Guzman also had three hits to go with an RBI and two runs while Josh Lowe and Adam Frazier each had two hits. Lowe and Jose Siri drove in two runs apiece for Los Angeles, which finished with 15 hits -- a double Lowe and 14 singles.
The Angels improved to 7-3 against Texas this season, including 6-1 in Anaheim, after taking the last three games of a four-game series.
Urena (8-8) walked two and struck out five while lowering his ERA to 2.67. He has a 1.75 ERA over his past seven starts.
Jacob deGrom (8-8), who left after two innings with what team called right triceps fatigue, took the loss to fall to 0-3 in five career starts at Angel Stadium. The two-time Cy Young Award winner allowed two runs on six hits, walked a batter and struck out three, giving him 1,998 career strikeouts. He threw 53 pitches, 35 for strikes.
Los Angeles took a 2-0 lead in the second inning on RBI singles by Frazier and Trout, driving in Guzman and Frazier, respectively.
The Angels broke the game open with six hits in a four-run fifth inning against reliever Jordan Montgomery. Guzman drove in the first run with a bases-loaded infield single, and Lowe followed with a two-run single. Siri drove in the fourth run with a fielder's choice.
Los Angeles extended the lead to 7-0 in the seventh on an RBI single by Siri, driving in Moises Ballesteros, who had singled.
