But Shohei Ohtani scored the Angels’ first run in the second inning, and he scored again on Stassi’s bases-loaded single in the fourth. Andrelton Simmons put the Halos ahead with an RBI single moments before Walsh’s grand slam.

“We basically gave them that inning,” Rangers manager Chris Woodward said. “That’s the frustrating part, because I felt like we were in control the whole game up to that point. You know with Bundy, we had a really good approach. It felt like we were doing things on the bases, having quality at-bats. It kind of takes the air out of everybody.”

Dietrich hit a two-run homer off Hoby Milner in the sixth, but the Angels bullpen didn’t allow another hit. Mike Mayers got six outs to earn his first save of the season and the second of his five-year major league career.

The home finale was one of the last milestones in another disappointing year for the Angels, whose streak of five straight losing seasons is the franchise’s longest such stretch since the 1970s. The big-budget Halos haven’t been to the playoffs since 2014 in the ostensible prime of three-time AL MVP Trout, who tripled in the seventh.

The Angels began the day 4 1/2 games behind Houston and Toronto for a playoff spot. With five games left, Bundy said the Angels plan to “play hard and win them all. If we don’t, so be it, but it’s definitely not lack of trying out there. With the lineup we’ve got and the pitchers we have, there’s definitely a chance.”
