U mad, Anaheim? Yeah. U mad.

Things:

The Rangers are at 18 games over .500 which is the high-water mark on the season.
With this win, the Rangers have tied the season high five-game AL West lead.
The Angels burned through their bullpen tonight.
The new Worst Case Scenario for this series is the Rangers head to Chicago up 2 games.
Adrian Beltre is the best cheerleader alive.
That was a nice game to win, 1 of 162 or otherwise.
