But in a game full of high and lowlights, the game took an extra turn in the bottom of the eighth inning when both benches and bullpens emptied after Rangers reliever Shawn Armstrong hit Zach Neto and Mike Trout with pitches, prompting an angry exchange between Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery and Texas manager Bruce Bochy.

Pinch-hitter Yoán Moncada keyed a four-run sixth inning with a two-run single, Gustavo Campero also drove in two runs and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Texas Rangers 8-5.
