Corey Seager homered twice and drove in five runs to lead the Texas Rangers to a 7-3 win against the Los Angeles Angels in the second game of a three-game set on Tuesday in Arlington, Texas.

Seager went 3-for-5 while Nathaniel Lowe and Ezequiel Duran contributed two hits each for the Rangers, who have won two in a row and 12 of 14.

Rangers starter Jordan Montgomery (8-10) allowed one run and six hits in six innings. He struck out nine and didn't walk a batter, improving to 2-1 with a 2.50 ERA in three starts since he was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals on July 30.

Angels starter Lucas Giolito (7-9) also went six innings, allowing four runs and seven hits with five strikeouts and two walks on a season-high 110 pitches.

Giolito is 1-3 with an 8.14 ERA in four starts since he was acquired from the Chicago White Sox on July 26.

Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer and a single while C.J. Cron also had two hits for the Angels, who fell three games under .500 for the first time this season. Los Angeles fell for the fourth time in five games.

Giolito gave up a leadoff walk to Travis Jankowski in the third. Marcus Semien then sliced an 0-2 pitch into the right field corner for a run-scoring triple and a 1-0 lead.

Semien has six RBIs in the past two games to give him 78 on the season.

Seager followed with a drive to the wall in left-center field. Angels rookie center fielder Jordyn Adams leaped and got his glove on the ball above the fence, but it slipped out of the webbing for a two-run homer and a 3-0 Texas lead.

Jankowski drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning to extend the advantage.

The Angels answered in the fifth with a two-out RBI single up the middle by Luis Rengifo, cutting the deficit to 4-1. Montgomery then struck out Shohei Ohtani looking to strand two runners.

Seager went deep again in the seventh inning to stretch the lead to 5-1, giving him 13 multi-homer games in his major league career.

Seager's two-run single in the eighth extended the lead to 7-1.

Grichuk went deep with Cron aboard in the ninth, prompting the Rangers to bring in Will Smith in a non-save situation. Smith got Matt Thaiss to ground to shortstop for the final out.
