Luis Rengifo hit a go-ahead, two-run double as the Angels rallied for five runs in the eighth inning to beat the Texas Rangers 9-7 on Saturday night.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — With Mike Trout sidelined by back issues, the Los Angeles Angels have received a jolt of offense from an unlikely source.
“I feel comfortable. It's more like go out there, do my job and stay focused every single time when I take my at-bats and help my team,” said Rengifo, who began the season at Triple-A Salt Lake before being called up on May 8. “It's getting more experience, which helps with making adjustments and seeing results.”
“He chased one early and fell behind. Then grinds through it and got a pitch up and drives it in the gap,” interim manager Phil Nevin said. “That’s been a shot in the arm for us. His energy and work ethic, guys are feeding off that. Our offense has been a little better and he's a big part of that.” “We just didn’t execute at the end. We had them kind of where we wanted and had it lined up,” manager Chris Woodward said. “We had seven on the board pretty early. I would have loved to add on in the middle innings, but it was a pretty good night offensively."
