ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Another late-inning loss in the final weeks of a lost season came with a silver lining for the injury-riddled Los Angeles Angels.Tyler Skaggs is looking good on the mound, and he thinks hes getting stronger.Adrian Beltre broke a tie with his 440th home run in the eighth, and Yu Darvish pitched three-hit ball into the seventh inning of the Texas Rangers second win in six games, 2-1 over the Angels on Friday night.Andrelton Simmons drilled a tying triple in the seventh for the Angels, who have lost three straight.But before the late fireworks, Darvish and Skaggs traded zeros for the first six innings in the opener of Los Angeles 10-game homestand.Skaggs had one of his best starts since his return to the majors from Tommy John surgery, giving up two hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. The left-hander struck out eight and allowed just one runner to reach third base.Ive been out for so long, so this is kind of the middle of the season for me, Skaggs said. I need to get up to 100 pitches (and) seven or eight innings. I need to stop throwing as many pitches as I do. But theres progress.Darvish also bounced back sharply from a rough start last week, limiting the Angels to two singles in the first six innings while striking out nine.When I was warming up, I wasnt feeling good, Darvish said.

Sam Dyson pitched the ninth for his 33rd save, giving up a leadoff single to Mike Trout before retiring Simmons on a groundout with two Angels on base.Texas finally broke through against Mike Morin in the seventh, but only because Angels fill-in left fielder Jefry Marte took an unadvisable route on Morelands leadoff fly and allowed an apparently catchable ball to land for a double.Simmons evened it moments later with an exceptional nine-pitch at-bat. He battled out of an 0-2 count before sending Darvishs 95th and final pitch to the wall in right-center for a triple, scoring Marte from first.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: 2B Rougned Odor left the game with hamstring tightness.
