<p>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.</p>
<p>Travis d'Arnaud hit an early two-run homer off Texas starter Jacob deGrom and finished with three RBIs.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>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.</p>
