Schanuel walks with bases loaded in 9th to lift Angels over Rangers 6-5
Travis d'Arnaud hit an early two-run homer off Texas starter Jacob deGrom and finished with three RBIs.
Corey Seager launched a two-run shot off Yusei Kikuchi to put the Rangers ahead 2-0 two batters into the game. Josh Smith had an RBI double for Texas that tied it at 5 in the eighth.
Luis Rengifo doubled off Rangers reliever Chris Martin (0-5) to open the ninth and went to third on Kevin Newman's one-out single to left field. Zach Neto was intentionally walked to load the bases.
Texas manager Bruce Bochy summoned Milner for a lefty-lefty matchup with Schanuel, who fought back from an 0-2 count before taking a 3-2 changeup below the strike zone for his second career walk-off RBI.
The Angels turned a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 lead in the sixth when Rengifo singled with two outs, d'Arnaud hit an RBI double and LaMonte Wade Jr. followed with a pinch-hit RBI single.
But the Rangers tied it against reliever Sam Bachman with two outs in the eighth. Jake Burger reached on a wild pitch when strike three in the dirt got past d'Arnaud and then scored from first on Smith's double.
An anticipated pitchers' duel between All-Star starters didn't materialize, as deGrom gave up three runs and five hits in five innings while Kikuchi allowed four runs and six hits in five innings.

England midfielder Jordan Henderson leaves Ajax after asking to end contract
AMSTERDAM (AP) — England midfielder Jordan Henderson has left Ajax after the club agreed to end his contract early following a year and a half in the Netherlands. Henderson had a year to run on his Ajax deal but the club said it 'cooperated with the player's request to terminate the current employment contract.' Henderson thanked the club and the people of Amsterdam but didn't specify why he'd asked to leave or what he plans to do next. He indicated that the death last week in a car accident of his former Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota had influenced how he communicated the decision. 'Due to the tragic events of last week, and the devastating loss of my former teammate Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, it doesn't feel right at this moment to say or do more than share this brief statement,' Henderson said in a club statement. 'However, I am fully aware that I owe this club, my teammates, and the supporters a fuller and more personal thank you. I will, of course, do that when the time feels more appropriate.' Henderson joined Ajax in Jan. 2024 after an unsuccessful six-month stint in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ettifaq. The 35-year-old midfielder captained Ajax as it fell short of winning the Dutch league title this season after a late collapse saw the team overtaken by rival PSV Eindhoven. Henderson has played 84 times for England and returned to the national team squad this year under new coach Thomas Tuchel. ___ AP soccer:

Human rights court rules Olympic champion runner Semenya did not get fair hearing in Switzerland
STRASBOURG, France (AP) — Two-time Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya won a partial victory at the European Court of Human Rights on Thursday in her seven-year legal fight against track and field's sex eligibility rules. The court's 17-judge highest chamber said Semenya had her rights to a fair hearing violated at Switzerland's Supreme Court, where she had appealed against a ruling by the Court in Arbitration for Sport in favor of track and field's World Athletics. Her case should now go back to the Swiss federal court in Lausanne. Europe's top human rights court in Strasbourg, France, dismissed other aspects of Semenya's appeal.
