The Angels’ Mickey Moniak, right, is congratulated by Zach Neto, center, after hitting a three-run home run as Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim stands by during the second inning on Wednesday night at Angel Stadium. ANAHEIM — Mickey Moniak is still trying to climb out of the hole that he dug in the first two months of the season.
Moniak, who also singled, is still hitting .198 with a .567 OPS, the result of a mostly disappointing season. Since mid-June, he’s had some better stretches, amounting to a .256 average and .772 OPS over his last 98 plate appearances. He hit his fifth homer of the season on Wednesday, capping a four-run inning against right-hander Michael Lorenzen.
Right-hander Griffin Canning was the beneficiary of the early run scoring outburst, but he didn’t last long enough to get a victory out of it. Because the bullpen was thin after working seven innings the night before, right-hander Hans Crouse was the first one through the gate. Crouse escaped the jam by striking out Wyatt Langford and Adolis García. Crouse added a scoreless sixth.Anthony Rendon activated by Angels, in lineup against Rangers
