Mike Trout hit a two-run homer to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 5-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif.

It was the 417th homer of Trout's career. Zach Neto went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored for Los Angeles, which won the first two games of a series for the first time since opening the season with back-to-back wins at Houston on March 26-27.

Walbert Urena (2-4) picked up the win, allowing one run on five hits over five innings. He walked three and struck out six. Kirby Yates pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his first save with the Angels and the 99th of his career.

Kyle Higashioka hit a home run and Alejandro Osuna went 3-for-3 with a run scored for Texas. Nathan Eovaldi (5-5) took the loss, allowing three runs on five hits in seven innings. He walked two and struck out six.

Eovaldi, who came into the contest allowing just one run over his previous 22 innings spanning three starts, gave up two to the first two batters he faced in the game. Neto led off with a walk and then scored on Trout's 13th home run, a 411-foot drive to left-center. It marked the fourth straight game that the Angels hit a homer in the first inning.

Texas cut the lead to 2-1 in the second when Osuna led off with an infield single, went to second on a walk by Jake Burger, advanced to third on a fielder's choice and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ezequiel Duran.

The Angels extended the lead to 3-1 in the fifth inning when Neto doubled into the left field corner and scored one out later on a double into the right field corner by Nolan Schanuel.

The Rangers cut the lead to 3-2 in the seventh when Higashioka led off with his third home run, a 395-foot drive to left-center.

The Angels added a couple of insurance runs in the eighth inning on a two-run, bases-loaded single by Oswald Peraza.
