Angels swept by Rangers, face offensive struggles

The Texas Rangers swept the Los Angeles Angels in a three-game series, extending their home winning streak to nine games. The Angels struggled offensively throughout the series, being shut out 4-0 in the opener, managing only one run in the second game, and scoring just three runs in the finale. Strong pitching performances from Texas, including Tyler Mahle's shutout and Kumar Rocker's career-best outing for his first MLB win, limited the Angels' opportunities. Key moments included missed scoring chances by the Angels, such as Mike Trout striking out with runners on base and the lineup's continued struggles with runners in scoring position. The Angels have now lost four straight games and have had difficulty generating offense despite some quality starts from their own pitchers. Meanwhile, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy tied Dusty Baker for seventh place on the all-time managerial wins list with his 2,183rd victory.
