ARLINGTON -- Entering Sunday’s matchup with the Angels, Andrew Heaney had received two-or-fewer runs of support in seven straight starts and in 18 of his 27 starts. His team-low 3.55 run support average was the fifth-lowest mark in the American League (min. 130 IP).

But before Heaney could even blink, the Rangers scored five runs in the first two innings on Sunday afternoon, chasing Angels starter Caden Dana out of the game with no outs in the second inning. It’s a good thing they did, too, since it was just enough runs for Texas to pull out a 7-4 win over the Halos to complete a series win at Globe Life Field.

The Rangers have now won four straight series, prevailing over the White Sox, A's, Yankees and Angels. It matched their longest run in 2024, when they took series over the Reds, Nationals, Royals and A’s from April 26-May 8.

As for Heaney, he collected his first win since July 21 against the Orioles.

Heaney also has a career-high 13 losses in 2024, which is tied for the second-most in MLB (14-Chris Flexen). The last time a Rangers pitcher had 13 losses in a season was Jordan Lyles, but he had a 5.15 ERA to go along with his 13 losses in 2021. Heaney’s ERA is now 3.84 after Sunday’s win.
