Howie Kendrick went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in the Angels' 11-7 loss to the Rangers on Friday. Kendrick's bomb came with the Halos trailing 11-5 in the ninth inning of game one of an all-important three-game set in Texas. Los Angeles' second baseman has now homered three times in his past four games, and driven in at least one run in six of his past eight games.
