The Angels established an early advantage in the second inning when Andrew Heaney walked, allowing Evan Carter to score. This was followed by Corey Seager’s solo home run to right field in the third inning, which increased the Angels’ lead to 3-1 after Trout’s single had narrowed the gap momentarily.
Trout continued to be a factor later in the game with his second hit of the night. The Angels added an unearned run in the seventh inning when Frazier reached on an infield single and scored on a fielder's choice play, making it 5-2.
The Texas Rangers managed to score two runs themselves. They took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on a walk that allowed Carter to cross home plate. In the third, they answered Seager’s homer with a run of their own when Trout singled and Guzman scored.
In the sixth, the Rangers cut into the deficit when Trammell doubled to left, scoring Adam Frazier. However, a sacrifice bunt by Guzman allowed Trammell to score, tying the game at 2-2 before Trout’s hit broke it open again.
