Texas Rangers starters struggled to contain the Los Angeles attack, with Jacob deGrom taking the loss after surrendering six hits and two earned runs in just two innings of work.

The game's momentum shifted decisively in the fifth inning when Guzman reached on an infield single to pitcher, scoring Trout. Lowe then singled to right field, bringing in both Grissom and Schanuel for a two-run rally that broke the game open.
