ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Zach Neto homered on the game’s first pitch and the Los Angeles Angels, with manager Ron Washington present for the first time in more than two months, beat the Texas Rangers and All-Star pitcher Jacob deGrom 4-0 on Monday night.
José Soriano (9-9) struck out six over 5 1/3 innings and allowed four hits in his first start since coming off the paternity list. Four relievers finished off the Angels’ sixth shutout this season.
