ARLINGTON, Texas — Adolis Garcia<\/a>, Joc Pederson<\/a> and Kyle Higashioka<\/a> each hit three-run homers, Corey Seager<\/a> went deep a team-leading 21st time and the Texas Rangers<\/a> blew out the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> 20-3<\/a> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Garcia’s 17th home run highlighted a four-run first inning, Pederson made it 7-1 in the second with his seventh of the season, and Seager added a two-run shot in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Higashioka’s 10th homer for a 20-3 lead came on the last of 21 pitches — all between 30 and 40 mph — from Oswald Peraza<\/a>, who moved to the mound from first base in the seventh and allowed eight runs while getting one out.<\/p>\n

Garcia, Pederson and Higashioka had five RBIs apiece as the Rangers scored their most runs since a 20-6 win over Minnesota in 2011. According to ESPN Research, it was just the 10th instance of three teammates recording five or more RBIs in a game since it became an official statistic in 1920.<\/p>\n

It was the fourth time in franchise history that the Angels had given up 20 runs or more. The Angels gave up 21 runs to the Seattle Mariners<\/a> in September 2000 and also to the Athletics<\/a> in September 2018.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Picks<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rangers’ first three homers came against Jack Kochanowicz, who was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake before the game for his 23rd start in his third stint with the Angels this season.<\/p>\n

Kochanowicz (3-11) allowed 11 runs with 10 earned — both career highs — in 3\u2153 innings. The right-hander’s ERA rose to 6.81.<\/p>\n

Jacob Webb<\/a> (5-4) pitched 1\u2154 scoreless innings after Jacob Latz<\/a> started a bullpen game in place of Nathan Eovaldi<\/a>, who went on the injured list a day after the Rangers said the right-hander’s season was probably over<\/a> due to a rotator cuff strain.<\/p>\n

Wyatt Langford<\/a> reached base all five times and scored four runs before he was replaced by a pinch runner in the seventh.<\/p>\n
