Kumar Rocker strikes out 8 and earns 1st MLB win as Rangers sweep Angels 5-3
Rocker (1-2) threw a career-high 78 pitches and allowed three runs on five hits without a walk as the Rangers extended their home winning streak to nine games. The 25-year-old right-hander was drafted third overall by Texas in 2022, a year after concerns over a physical led to him going unsigned by the New York Mets as the 10th overall pick. He made his big league debut in September and was 0-2 last season.
Leody Taveras had a two-run double and Adolis García’s solo home run was his 15th against the Angels. Corey Seager hit his 100th homer with Texas. Robert Garcia earned his first major league save.
The Angels lost their fourth straight game and scored four runs in the series. They head home having played 15 of their first 18 games on the road, matching a MLB high, most recently done by 1957 Chicago Cubs.
Jack Kochanowicz (1-2) gave up four runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings in the loss.
Bruce Bochy moved into a tie with Dusty Baker for seventh place overall with his 2,183rd managerial win.
