Angels 5, Rangers 4: Howie Kendrick went 3-for-4 with a homer and Albert Pujols also went deep as visiting Los Angeles held on to extend its winning streak to four games.

Kole Calhoun drove in a pair of runs and Chris Iannetta plated one while Kendrick and Erick Aybar each scored twice for the Angels, who pulled even with Oakland atop the American League West. Matt Shoemaker (11-4) allowed two runs and four hits while striking out six in 5 2/3 innings while Huston Street worked a perfect ninth for his 33rd save of the season and ninth in as many opportunities since joining Los Angeles.

Pujols opened the scoring with a two-out solo blast in the first inning and Kendrick led off the second with a shot to center field while Iannetta delivered an RBI double later in the frame for a 3-0 lead. Calhoun extended the advantage in the fourth with a two-out, two-run single before Texas began its comeback attempt in the bottom half.

Choo kicked off the inning with his 12th homer and Adrian Beltre drew a two-out walk before Leonys Martin reached on an infield single. Arencibia followed with an RBI base hit and Rios delivered a two-run single in the seventh, but the Rangers were unable to complete the comeback.
