ANAHEIM, Calif. -- C.J. Cron's two-out, two-run single in the sixth inning snapped a 1-1 tie and propelled the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-1 win over the Texas Rangers Saturday night at Angel Stadium.

Angels right-hander Vinnie Pestano, who got out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the sixth, earned the victory in relief of starter C.J. Wilson after retiring the only batter he faced.

Pestano (1-0), Jose Alvarez, Mike Morin, Fernando Salas and Huston Street (seventh save) combined to throw 3 1/3 scoreless innings as the Angels won their third in a row. Right fielder Kole Calhoun had three hits and Grant Green, making his first start of the season after being called up Friday, had two hits.

Rangers starter Colby Lewis (1-2) suffered the loss after giving up two runs and four hits in five-plus innings. Shortstop Elvis Andrus led the Rangers offense with two of the club's seven hits.

The Angels trailed 1-0 entering the bottom of the sixth but loaded the bases with no outs on singles by Green and Calhoun and a walk by center fielder Mike Trout. Lewis was replaced by Ramon Mendez, who gave up a single to first baseman Albert Pujols.

Green scored to tie the game, but Calhoun was thrown out at the plate by center fielder Leonys Martin.

Two batters later the Angels had the bases loaded with two outs when Cron stroked a two-run single to center, giving the Angels a 3-1 lead. Pujols' bases-loaded walk in the seventh gave the Angels an insurance run.

The Rangers had at least one runner on base through the first five innings against Wilson, but they scored just once.

Third baseman Adrian Beltre led off the fourth with a single and, one out later, went to second on a single Andrus. Beltre tagged and went to third on right fielder Shin-Soo Choo's fly ball to center.

With second baseman Adam Rosales at the plate, Wilson threw a wild pitch, allowing Beltre to score for a 1-0 lead. Rosales then struck out to end the inning.

Meanwhile, Lewis did not face a threat in the early innings against the Angels' offense, which managed two singles -- one by Calhoun and the other by Trout.

No Angels runner even got as far as second base through the first five innings.

NOTES: RHP Garrett Richards arrived in the Angels' clubhouse Saturday only to find an invoice for $300 in his locker. The charge -- three broken bats. Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre sent over the invoice after breaking the three bats while facing Richards in Friday's game. Beltre, who said he never had broken three bats in a game, grounded out to second, popped to shortstop and grounded into a double play. Instead of cash, Richards sent Beltre a signed batting practice bat. ... The Angels and Rangers reportedly remain close to announcing a deal that will send OF Josh Hamilton back to the Rangers. The Angels are not expected to get any players in return and are likely to be responsible for nearly all of the $83 million remaining on Hamilton's contract. ... Angels CF Mike Trout was honored before the game for winning the American League MVP in 2014. The ceremony included the Angels' only other two league MVPs -- Don Baylor (1979) and Vladimir Guerrero (2004). ... Rangers 1B/DH Prince Fielder began the night with 10 multi-hit games, most in the AL and one behind major league leader Matt Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals.
