ARLINGTON, Texas — \u2014 Adolis Garc\u00eda, Joc Pederson<\/a> and Kyle Higashioka<\/a> each hit a three-run homer, Corey Seager<\/a> went deep a team-leading 21st time and the Texas Rangers<\/a> blew out the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> 20-3 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Garc\u00eda’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 \u2014 all between 30 and 40 mph \u2014 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

The first three homers came against Jack Kochanowicz<\/a>, 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 \u2014 both career highs \u2014 in 3 1\/3 innings. The right-hander’s ERA rose to 6.81.<\/p>\n

Jacob Webb<\/a> (5-4) pitched 1 2\/3 scoreless innings after Jacob Latz<\/a> started a bullpen game in place of Nathan Eovaldi, who went on the injured list a day after the Rangers said the right-hander’s season was probably over 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

Key moment <\/p>\n

The Angels were leading 1-0 when Garc\u00eda homered. <\/p>\n

Key stat <\/p>\n

Garc\u00eda, Pederson and Higashioka had five RBI apiece as the Rangers scored their most runs since a 20-6 win over Minnesota in 2011.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Both teams are off Thursday. Angels LHP Tyler Anderson (2-8, 4.73 ERA) is scheduled for the opener of a four-game series in Houston on Friday. Rangers rookie RHP Jack Leiter<\/a> (8-7, 3.81) is set for the first of three against the Athletics in Sacramento.<\/p>\n
