Nolan Schanuel earns walk-off walk to lift Angels past Texas Rangers
The Angels' Nolan Schanuel celebrates with teammates after a walk-off walk during the ninth inning against the Texas Rangers on Monday in Anaheim. (Jayne Kamin-Oncea / Associated Press) Travis d'Arnaud knows Jacob deGrom better than any other catcher in baseball. He caught the hard-throwing right-hander 60 times when they played together with the New York Mets, the most frequent backstop the former Cy Young Award winner has thrown to in his career. That familiarity did d'Arnaud and the Angels well en route to their 6-5 victory over the Rangers (44-47) on Monday night, in which Nolan Schanuel walked off their American West foes in the ninth inning with a bases-loaded, RBI walk. Advertisement The veteran catcher ambushed deGrom in the second inning for a two-run home run, just hitting the ball hard enough — 97.4 mph — over the left-field wall. D'Arnaud's home run broke deGrom's Rangers franchise-record streak of 15 consecutive starts with two or fewer runs given up — and provided the Angels (44-46) with an early 3-2 lead. Later, with deGrom in line for the win, d'Arnaud tied the score during a two-out rally in the sixth against relief pitcher Shawn Armstrong, lining a double to deep left-center field to score Luis Rengifo, who reached base on a single. The Angels' Logan O'Hoppe douses Nolan Schanuel with a cooler of sports drink after he delivered a walk-off walk against the Texas Rangers Monday at Angel Stadium. (Jayne Kamin-Oncea / Associated Press) A batter later, pinch-hitter LaMonte Wade Jr. channeled the 'Throwback Week' theme at Angel Stadium, reverting to the clutch hitting that earned him the nickname 'Late Night LaMonte' in San Francisco. The 31-year-old, wearing the '70s-style Angels uniform, singled to center to give the Angels a 5-4 lead. Advertisement DeGrom didn't flex the ace-caliber stuff he often tests foes with. On Monday, he gave up three earned runs and five hits across five innings, striking out five and walking two. Yusei Kikuchi, coming off Sunday's announcement that he earned an All-Star berth (his second of his career), didn't live up to the pitcher's duel billing either. The Japanese southpaw labored through an almost-20 minute first inning — in which he gave up a two-run home run to Corey Seager — and never settled down during his five innings. Before d'Arnaud's tying double, Kikuchi was bound to be the losing pitcher, giving up four runs on six hits, struggling to accrue the same strikeout success he'd achieved as of late. He struck out just four, tied for the second-fewest he'd tallied in 2025 and the first time he'd done so since late May against the Yankees. But none of that mattered when Schanuel came to the plate with the bases loaded, washing away an 0-for-4 night with his walk-off walk. Advertisement Reliever R&R The Angels placed veteran right-handed relief pitcher Hunter Strickland on the 15-day injured list with right-shoulder inflammation on Monday afternoon. Strickland, who had pitched 22 innings in 19 games to the tune of a 3.27 earned-run average for the Angels, said he felt his arm get stiff before pitching against the Blue Jays on Sunday. During his outing, in which Strickland struck out one batter in a scoreless inning, the 36-year-old said the stiff sensation in his arm got worse, causing the IL stint. Cuban righty Víctor Mederos was called up from triple-A Salt Lake City in his place. Read more: The Angels have used only five starting pitchers this season. Why that's significant Advertisement 'We're just hoping for the best and see what they say,' Strickland said, adding that he will get an MRI on Tuesday. Robert Stephenson (stretched nerve in right bicep) said he began throwing again on Monday — soft toss — after soft-tissue recovery helped 'fully heal' the nerve. 'I don't think it's gonna be a quick process, but at least I can start building up,' said Stephenson, who is in the second year of a three-year, $33 million contract with the Angels. Stephenson has thrown just one inning as a member of the Angels, hurting himself in his second appearance back from Tommy John surgery on May 30.

Schanuel walks with bases loaded in 9th to lift Angels over Rangers 6-5
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Nolan Schanuel drew a bases-loaded walk from Hoby Milner in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Los Angeles Angels a 6-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday night. 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 scored from first on Smith's double after reaching on a wild pitch when strike three in the dirt got past d'Arnaud. 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. Key moment Sam Haggerty reached on Neto's fielding error at shortstop to open the ninth, but Rengifo turned Seager's 106.5 mph grounder to second into a 4-6-3 double play. Kenley Jansen (2-2) then struck out Marcus Semien looking to preserve a 5-all tie. Key stat Mike Trout's sacrifice fly in the first and d'Arnaud's two-run homer in the second snapped a franchise-record string of 14 consecutive starts in which deGrom allowed two or fewer runs while pitching five innings or more, a streak that began on April 18. Up next Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (5-3, 1.75 ERA) opposes Angels right-hander José Soriano (6-5, 3.72) on Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB:
