Howie Kendrick celebrated his 31st birthday with three hits, including a game-tying RBI single during a four-run sixth inning as the Angels won for the ninth time in 10 games. David Freese hit a go-ahead single and Hank Conger then had a two-run double off Mikolas (0-2). The big right-hander limited the Rangers to two runs and four hits with three strikeouts and three walks. The Angels ace noticed that there was no signal to the bullpen when manager Mike Scioscia was walking toward him in the seventh inning, with a runner on base and one out. No.
