ARLINGTON, Texas – After a brilliant week after the Angels rotation began, the story quickly changed with the new week.

Noah Cindergard failed to come out of the first half for the first time in 126 career starts, allowing six runs in the Angels ’7-4 defeat to the Texas Rangers on Monday night.

Cindergaard allowed twice as many as Angels ’starting teams, in seven games last week when they together took a 0.81 ERA. It was the fifth time in Cindergaard’s career that he allowed six or more runs. Only four of the runs were earned.

The Angels still had a chance to win because they bet on Cindergaard to come out for the first time in three wounds. The bullpen then kept the Rangers at bay. Jaime Baria did most of the hard work with 4-1 / 3 zero innings.

The Angels left two runners at the base in the fourth and sixth innings. They had the makings of a rally in seventh place when Taylor Ward drew a single in the backcourt, but then Mike Trout entered a double game – a good turn to shortstop Corey Seeger and second baseman Marcus Semen – and Shohe Otani knocked the ball out.

Seeger and Semien, a duo that the Rangers signed for $ 500 million over the winter, also did some damage to Cindergard in his nightmarish first inning.

Semen won the 11th match with Cindergaard by drawing. Seeger then tore the single to the right, ruling in the first run of the game. Adolis Garcia came out with a double. The third run was killed on the sacrificial swing.
