ANAHEIM -- Mike Trout did the spectacular again on Sunday afternoon against the Rangers. His fifth home run in four games helped carry the Angels in handing a 7-2 loss to the Rangers.

But this game was decided by three bases-loaded situations, one a frustrating inning for Texas starter Shelby Miller and the other two equally frustrating for the offense. Here is the breakdown on all three situations:

1. Bottom of the second, Angels batting
Miller began the game by setting down the side in order in the first inning and Joey Gallo gave him a 2-0 lead with a two-run home run in the second. But the Angels answered by scoring four off Miller that same inning.

“This was the best I’ve felt going into a game since my [Tommy John] surgery,” Miller said. “My command and stuff down in the bullpen was so good. I was staying behind the ball and my curveball was sharp. First inning felt the same way. Second inning [I] just tried to do too much. Starting missing with my fastball up in the zone, that caused me to get behind in the count.”

Andrelton Simmons opened the Halos’ rally against Miller with a first-pitch single to center. Miller got ahead 0-2 against Albert Pujols, but he ended up walking him. Another walk to Brian Goodwin loaded the bases. Jonathan Lucroy followed with a grounder up the middle that shortstop Elvis Andrus snagged, but his back-handed flip to second baseman Rougned Odor was off target and Goodwin slid in safely.

Miller then hit Zack Cozart with a pitch to force in the tying run. David Fletcher’s single to right brought home the go-ahead run, and another scored on Tommy La Stella’s high-bouncing groundout to Odor. A tremendous diving catch by third baseman Asdrubal Cabrera saved Miller, who threw 39 pitches in the inning, from even more damage, but Rangers starters are now 1-4 with a 6.55 ERA and a 1.84 WHIP after 10 games.

“There is obviously a lot of room for improvement,” manager Chris Woodward said. “Just the execution of pitches. We would love to attack more in the strike zone. There has been some long innings and a lot of pitches thrown. We just have to attack.”

2. Top of the fifth, Rangers batting
The Rangers loaded the bases in the fifth from the bottom of their order as Logan Forsythe doubled, Isiah Kiner-Falefa singled and Delino DeShields drew a walk off of Angels starter Chris Stratton. But manager Brad Ausmus brought in reliever Justin Anderson and he shut down the threat.

Shin-Soo Choo and Odor struck out, and Andrus lined out to third baseman David Fletcher to end the inning. Texas went 4-for-21 with runners in scoring position over three straight losses to the Halos after hitting .367 in those situations in its first seven games.

“I would have bet on us scoring a bunch of runs right there,” Woodward said. “But listen, the guy executed some pitches. I am going to count on our guys to have some big hits. As long as they are getting good swings off of good pitches, we can work on the mechanical side of it. If we keep putting ourselves in good situations, we’ll come through, but it hurts a little bit."

3. Top of the eighth, Rangers batting
This inning started with a leadoff walk to Choo and a one-out single by Andrus, putting runners on first and second against Angels reliever Luis Garcia. Nomar Mazara then looped a shallow fly ball to left-center and Trout appeared to make a diving catch. That was the immediate call made by second-base umpire Larry Vanover and Trout threw to second base to double off Choo.

But the Rangers challenged the call and it was overturned when the replay clearly showed Trout had trapped the ball. Choo was awarded third, Andrus was safe at second and Mazara was at first.

“Once the out call is made on the field, everybody has to assume that’s the call,” Woodward said. “Andrus was two steps away from second base. He could have taken two steps and been at second. Everybody has to go off what the umpire says. If the umpire says safe, Choo walks to third, Andrus takes second base.”

Ausmus wasn’t happy with the call, but he agreed after the game the umpires got it right.

“It's a difficult decision, but I think the guys at the replay center put the runners in the right positions,” Ausmus said. “It's just hard to blame the baserunners when the call on the field is overturned."

Ausmus then brought in right-hander Ty Buttrey, who struck out both Gallo and Cabrera to end the inning.
