Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver throws against the Texas Rangers during the first inning on Saturday at Angel Stadium.

ANAHEIM – Taylor Featherston, who is now batting .132, is playing because he’s the Angels best defensive option at second base.

But it was Featherston who failed to come up with a makeable play, leading to the go-ahead run in the eighth inning of the Angels’ 2-1 loss to the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.

The loss dropped the Angels to 3 ½ games behind the Rangers for the second wild card.
