Escobar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rangers

EDGE Analysis

Escobar broke the ice with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first -- one of Angels long balls surrendered by Colby Lewis. The home run was his fourth of the season but first since April 27, ending a streak of 92 games without one.
