The Angels scored a run on a sacrifice fly that turned into an inning-ending double play in the sixth, but the Rangers scored five times in the bottom of the inning to take a 7-1 lead.
The first run came courtesy of the first big-league hit of Julio Borbon, who was pinch-hitting for Nelson Cruz (lower back stiffness). Hank Blalock scored on a wild pitch as Jarrod Saltalamacchia struck out but reached first. Borbon scored when Chris Davis bounced out to first base, and then got his forearm stomped on while diving for the bag. Michael Young singled with two outs to bring in Saltalamacchia, and David Murphy's single brought home Omar Vizquel.
Davis has stayed in the game, and Kevin Millwood is back to start the seventh. Borbon is in left field, and Murphy has moved to right.
-- Jeff Wilson
Just wish Borbon could field the ball.
