Angels pitcher Hector Santiago ran into trouble late in his start and was pegged with the loss Friday night against the Rangers.

Santiago (0-5) tossed five scoreless innings before serving up home runs to Alex Rios and Shin-Soo Choo in the sixth. He was charged with two more runs in the seventh before he was pulled. The right-hander permitted five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings of work in a 5-2 defeat.

Santiago owns a 5.01 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP in 32 1/3 innings. He will look to bounce back Wednesday at home against the Yankees.
