Rangers vs. Angels: Game 4 Pitcher & Hitter Matchups

Starting Pitchers

Patrick Corbin (Rangers)

Patrick Corbin has had a hit-and-miss 2025 season with a 5-7 record and an ERA of 4.18. Most recently, he earned a solid victory against the Padres on July 5, pitching six innings, allowing two runs on six hits, walking one, and striking out three.

In over 88.1 innings this year, Corbin has a 1.29 WHIP, with 6.9 strikeouts and 2.5 walks per nine innings, and an exacting 1.3 home runs per nine. His maturity and ability to prevent runs will be useful to the Angels in this game.

Jack Kochanowicz (Angels)

Jack Kochanowicz has struggled this season with a 3-8 record and a 5.42 ERA. On July 5 in his most recent start, he gave up three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out only once over 5.1 innings in a no-decision to Toronto.

Over 91.1 innings this year, Kochanowicz has a 1.55 WHIP, with 6.1 strikeouts and 4.1 walks per nine, and allowing 1.6 home runs per nine. His control issues and high ERA are causing problems for the Rangers' hitters.

Hot Hitters

Texas Rangers: Corey Seager

Corey Seager has been the Rangers' most significant contributor this year, with a .260 average, 13 home runs, 28 RBIs, and 36 runs. In Tuesday's emphatic 13-1 win over the Angels, he went 2-for-3 with a walk, solo homer, and extra run scored, showing his worth at the plate and on the basepaths.

Los Angeles Angels: Mike Trout

Mike Trout continues to be an Angel force despite a roller coaster season, hitting .233 with 16 home runs, 36 RBIs, and 34 runs scored this year. He came alive recently with a 2-for-5 performance with two home runs and three RBIs in Wednesday's thrilling 11-8 win over the Rangers, showing why he is still one of baseball's top hitters.
