ARLINGTON, Texas — – Wyatt Langford<\/a> lined a shot off the wall in left field to bring home Alejandro Osuna<\/a> in the ninth inning, lifting Texas to a 7-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> after the Rangers blew a five-run lead Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Langford struck out three of his first four times up as the designated hitter after getting activated from the 10-day injured list the first day the outfielder was eligible after dealing with a left hamstring strain.<\/p>\n

Osuna led off the ninth with a single and went to second on pinch-hitter Nicky Lopez<\/a>‘s sacrifice bunt. Langford lined a 1-1 fastball from former Texas closer Kirby Yates<\/a> (0-4) over Jose Siri<\/a>‘s head for the winning single.<\/p>\n

Jo Adell<\/a> had a tying pinch-hit single to cap a five-run seventh a night after homering twice in the Angels’ 13-1 victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cole Winn<\/a> (4-2) got Adell on a sharp liner to center field to end the ninth with the potential go-ahead run at third after replacing All-Star closer Jacob Latz<\/a>, who went 1 2\/3 innings in his first outing in nine days.<\/p>\n

Nathan Eovaldi<\/a> struck out a season-high 10 for Texas but didn’t get a win in a fifth consecutive start, which would have given him 10 victories. He exited with no outs in the seventh after Dezner Guzman reached on catcher’s interference, Logan O’Hoppe<\/a> walked and Wade Meckler<\/a>‘s single scored Guzman.<\/p>\n

Peyton Gray<\/a> replaced Eovaldi and gave up a two-run single to Nolan Schanuel<\/a>, who had four hits, and an RBI single to Jorge Soler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brandon Nimmo<\/a>, Ezequiel Duran<\/a> and Justin Foscue<\/a> homered for Texas in the first four innings off Reid Detmers<\/a>. The left-hander hadn’t allowed more than one long ball in any of his first 18 starts.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Angels: RHP Grayson Rodriguez (2-2, 8.06 ERA) is set to come off the IL and start Friday night at Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Rangers: RHP Cal Quantrill<\/a> (3-1, 3.35), who has three starts in his first 18 appearances, is scheduled to face Houston at home.<\/p>\n
