The Texas Rangers were one out away from a second straight win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, but C.J. Cron hit a two-run homer off Ricky Rodriguez and Jose Leclerc walked the first three batters of the 10th inning as the Angels rallied for a 7-4 victory.
Carlos Gomez homered and scored twice, and Elvis Andrus, Joey Gallo and Nomar Mazara drove in runs for the Rangers, who fell back below .500 and four games behind the Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees for a wild-card spot.
A.J. Griffin allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings before giving way to Paolo Espino, who in his Rangers debut got the Rangers out of a tight spot.
