Angels vs. Rangers Game Highlights (4/16/25) | MLB Highlights

Patrick Corbin it'll be a second start as a ranger he's getting close to that 2000 inning marker Ward leading it off again tonight for the Angels he went one for four yesterday so he goes with again it's a cutter and he gets Ward swinging and that's his first strikeout tonight. Here is Renhefo the switch hitter bats right handed against Corbin off the end of the bat it's Berger Field and Corbin is excellent around the mound. He's able to get over for the second half to have two down as this trout stands in here against Corbin. These two were drafted by the Angels in the same year 2009. And this pitch is in there for a called third strike a sinking fastball. Corbin has a one two three top half of the first in his first for a here at Globe by Field Jose Soriano has been so good to start here actually had a very good out of here in Texas too last year. I mean his stuff is electric Simeon drove in a run last night for the Rangers although he was 0 for three and he is really struggling at the plate to start off this season. The jumper under the glove of Newman in the left field that Simeon who reaches to start and the Angels really need to be crisp defensively when they've got a ground ball pitcher the likes of Soriano. He said right there my bad and he loves playing behind Soriano so an error to start and that is an auspicious start when you have a guy like Corey Seager behind Simeon and he gets one all over the head of Newman in the left center field. Seager goes after the first pitch follows the air with a base hit and an early start for Texas two on nobody out by Jack Peterson. Now it has been a tough start for him. Here's the next pitch and that's a flare into center field. It's hanging up for Joe Adel. He's going to make the catch on it. It's hit deep enough for the lead runner at second Simeon to tag and advance the third base. Adolis Garcia their cleanup batter will step up with runners at first and third one away. There's a one up for the Red Heepho gets it to second for one Paris to first to a double play that will end the inning. Taylor made five four three Jorge Soler to lead it off and another deep count for an Angel's batter. Here's a three to that is strike three call right on the inside corner. Third strikeout for Corbin Darnell reaches out and just strokes one through the middle in the center field a base hit makes him nine for 19 now lifetime against Corbin. Here's the only true lefty in the Angel lineup Nolan Shanawell one to loan away off the bag Darnell is a little aggressive to throw the first and they got him. Jonah Heim was able to track it down snap to throw to first Jake Berger there with a tag. Travis Darnell is caught a little too far off a first and now there are two outs here in the top of the second. And that is just outside there by Shanawell. That is a big part of his game. He works the walk. Kyron Paris has been mashing the ball in the first few weeks of the year. Corbin delivers one and two and then a swing and a miss. He strikes out Paris his fourth strikeout of the night. So the batter now is Dustin Harris who was in Triple-A earlier this season. Dustin Harris he smashes one down the right field line. That's a fair ball. That's a ground rule double. And I'm curious why that is. Maybe it went above and beyond the fence and then bounce back into play. Yeah there we go. If the ball is dead you're not supposed to go after it. And the umpire had not signaled anything yet. So I'm like I keep running the bases until Harris was told to go back to second Sears Berger Bouncer up the middle. That's got a chance it gets through base hit Harris around third. He'll score without a throw and Jake Berger drives in the first run of the night. The Rangers on top won nothing. Here's the next pitch and that one is low and that's a five pitch walk. So after Soriano got the first batter in the inning they've had a double a single to drive the runner in and now walk and runners at first and second one away in the nine hole hitter Leone Tavares who had a hit in last night's game will be the next batter. Here's a ground ball towards second Paris flips for one Newman does throw to first but no chance to get to there. It almost seemed like Soriano slowed that ball down down just enough where there's no way you're going to turn to. So it's ball for to Simeone now walk loads the bases for Seager swinging on looping drive to center field a base hit Berger scores to various come showman scores Simeone goes first to third. It's a two run single for Corey Seager and the Rangers extend their lead it's three to nothing. Here's Peterson who fly to center field his first time to knuckle curveball that frozen struck him out looking and that is how the inning will end. So they send eight to the plate. Three of them score Joe Adele the batter on two and there's a strikeout of Adele five strikeouts early on here for Corbin. Pitching is racking up the swings and misses and the strikeouts. We're bound to see a different Corbin getting comfortable here at home. The O2 swing and a miss ball in the dirt. Newman went around. He gets sorted by the slider and that's six strikeouts for Corbin one time through the Angels lineup three to swing in a line drive to left field but right at Harris he moves to his left now in lunges for it makes the catch one to three inning for Patrick Corbin the Rangers start the bottom of the third off for the base runner for Josh Young and the ground ball this one behind third when he put his second one Harris swings it to first to a double play when he put a quick feed. Nice job on the transfer but it's a lot on the throw by Harris. Here's Harris who started the second inning rally. There's a swing and a miss by Harris for strike three second strikeout in the game for Soriano. I trout bats here struck out his first time he's been chasing a whole lot more than usual. Trout lines one the other way that gets down for a base hit. Those are the types of swings that are going to turn Trout's batting average up in the next few weeks you'd think. Or Hayes Soler there's his three two and there's a bouncing ball third base Young charges those to second one on the first two double play. So the Rangers can go around the horn as well. Heading over one ball one strike on Seager who has two hits and two RBI eyes today and he shoots that one at the center. The rocket two down in the end of Josh Young the batter. Ground ball and when he Foe picking it on a hop low throw and it's off the glove of Sean O'Hara another error by the Angels after making a couple last night they've made two already tonight. So it's an error with two outs allowing Young to reach Seager to second base and now Soriano has to battle to get through the end of this inning. Now one right to Sean O'Hara on a line drive to end the inning. Corbin has worked efficiently and effectively tonight and there's no activity behind him in the Ranger bullpen. Why should there be with the way he's throwing right. That ball is lined in the center field a base hit. Start now you bring it back to the top door you might see some action before long even though he's been great the bullpen may be going. The three angel hits in this ballgame have been singles and one out base runner for Taylor Ward. Well it's this one toward the right field line a long run for Garcia. That's a fair ball. It bounced out of play and it's an automatic double rate on the chalk. I felt like everyone thought it was going to go foul. It was a big break for the Angels because Newman wasn't really running and he only probably would have gone to second base had that ball stayed in play but now it's second and third third time through the lineup. So this is usually the time where especially if you see two consecutive hits you start to think about going to your bullpen. It's a first time tonight that the Angels have put anyone in scoring position. Now Renhefo a line drive it is glove by Seager he'll throw to the plate and Newman is safe. Wow. You know what that was a really smart play here. He's going to have a tough time throwing out Renhefo and he made a good throw. It looked like Newman just got his hand in for the tag. I don't think he has any other play on it. That's a great play by Seager but a better slide by Newman Angels get on the board RBI for Renhefo. It's going to do it for Corbin as he walks off the mound gives the Rangers five and a third innings of work. But the Angels have a run across with a couple of men on in Mike Trout coming up Sean Armstrong is going to come to the hill Trout swings that one is hammer to center field but it hangs up for Tavares who backs up and makes the catch. So two outs here. So there the payoff delivery swing and a miss a cutter right down the middle Armstrong challenge Soler and got the better of the job well done there by the righty out of the pen. Jake Berger leading off the inning. A couple of hits tonight for Jake the last one just a little dribbling on the third base side and he shoots that through these three for three tonight. He's heating up Ron Washington is going to let Soriano face Simeone. This is certainly going to be the last batter with Seager on the deck. First pitch swinging Marcus hits a dribbler to short a bare hand play and it's wide in the bag. And Marcus legs out an infield hit. And so now it does get Seager to the plate. Now Walsh has to make that move. He signals for Brock Bergen still by that exhale right there. That is not how he wanted this inning to play out. Brock Berger coming in in a big spot here with Corey Seager coming up on the first pitch. Corey Seager it's a high fly center field. Adele is back all the way to the wall where he makes the catch. And that is how the inning will end Seager smiling as he rounds first he just missed knocking out a three run homer. Angels with another opportunity second straight inning they've had runners at first and second Jacob Webb needs to be focused here against Logan O'Hoppy the pinch hitter for the Angels ninth place batter in the first pitch O'Hoppy swings it's a high fly ball to left field Harris is back he's on the track at the wall he reaches up and he makes the catch arm fully extended as O'Hoppy comes up just shy of a go ahead three run home run three one Rangers lead it's a safe spot for Luke Jackson and he's on in this ninth inning and the Rangers are one out away from their second straight win here over the Angels Nolan Shonowell will be standing in the way and he'll go after the first pitch hit it right out to Garcia and just like that this one is over Luke Jackson a six pitch ninth inning and the Rangers have won this series with a chance to sweep tomorrow great birthday present for Bruce Bochy they win it by the final of three to one.
