Urea pitches Angels past Rangers 7-0 as Trout and Guzman lead offense with 3

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Walbert Urea allowed two hits in six innings, Mike
Trout and Denzer Guzman led a 15-hit outburst with three singles and an RBI
apiece, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Texas Rangers 7-0 on Thursday night.
Josh Lowe added two hits and two RBIs, and Adam Frazier had two hits and an RBI
for the Angels, who extended their win streak to three and amassed 10 or more
hits in a game for the first time since July 8.
Urea (8-8) struck out five and walked two while lowering his ERA to 2.67. The
rookie right-hander has a 2.43 ERA in 18 games since May 1 and has allowed no
more than one run in 13 of those starts. Jos Fermin, Tayler Saucedo and Sammy
Peralta each threw a scoreless inning to complete the five-hitter.
Rangers starter Jacob deGrom, who has been battling a left hip and glute injury
since the All-Star break, was pulled after two innings because of right triceps
fatigue.
The 38-year-old right-hander escaped a two-on, one-out jam in the first but
gave up two runs and five hits during a 32-pitch second --- the first time
deGrom (8-8) allowed five hits in an inning since Sept. 5, 2017, with the New
York Mets.
Guzman sparked the Angels' second-inning rally with a single. He went to third
on Lowe's double and scored on Frazier's one-out single. Lowe tried to score
from second on Frazier's hit but was thrown out by left fielder Wyatt Langford.
Wade Meckler singled and Trout hit an RBI single for a 2-0 lead.
The Angels broke open the game with four runs and six hits off Texas
left-hander Jordan Montgomery in the fifth.
Singles by Trout, Nolan Schanuel and Vaughn Grissom loaded the bases. Guzman
drove in a run with an infield single, Lowe hit a two-run single and Jose
Siri's RBI groundout made it 6-0. Siri added an RBI single in the seventh.
