Adolis Garcia, Joc Pederson and Kyle Higashioka hit three innings, Corey Seager won the team-leading game for the 21st time, and the Texas Rangers beat the Los Angeles 20-3 on Wednesday night.
Garcia's 17th home run highlighted four first innings, with Pederson leading 7-1 in the seventh inning of the season, while Seager added two shots in the fourth.
Higashioka's tenth homer, leading 20-3, was the last ball from Oswald Peraza's 21 courts, all 30 to 40 mph, who moved to the mound at the first base of the seventh and allowed eight runs.

Garcia, Pederson and Sigasica have won five RBIS since 2011. According to ESPN Research, this is just an example of three teammates who recorded five or more RBIs since they became official statistics in 1920.
This is the fourth time in franchise history that 20 or more runs have been abandoned. Angels gave up 21 runs to the Seattle Mariners in September 2000 and went to track and field in September 2018.
“The bats were there from the beginning,” Rangers manager Bruce Boch said. “It's contagious throughout the lineup. Baseball, walking, basic hits, home runs. The guys really did a great job at this home and they finished the game with a great game.”
