ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Ezequiel Dur\u00e1n and Elias D\u00edaz hit solo homers, Cal Quantrill worked six scoreless innings and the Texas Rangers beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-3 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

With the win, the Rangers moved into a tie with the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West with records of 65-66.<\/p>\n

Dur\u00e1n put Texas on the board early, launching his 14th home run of the year into the left-center seats for a 1-0 lead. Cody Freeman added an RBI triple \u2014 his first of the season \u2014 before D\u00edaz extended the lead to 5-0 in the fifth inning with a solo homer, his sixth of the season.<\/p>\n

Quantrill (6-4) allowed six hits, didn’t allow a walk and struck out six. He now boasts five-straight starts of five or more innings allowing a run or less, and extended his scoreless innings streak to 15.<\/p>\n

Jacob Latz worked a one-hit ninth for his 26th save of the season.<\/p>\n

Zach Neto started an eighth-inning rally for the Angels with a homer. Josh Lowe hit a sacrifice fly, and Gustavo Campero added an RBI single, but that was all the offense the Angels mustered.<\/p>\n

Yusei Kikuchi (0-4) allowed all five runs on seven hits. He struck out four in five innings for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
