ARLINGTON, Texas -- Catcher Robinson Chirinos drove in five runs to back another strong outing from starter Nick Martinez as the Texas Rangers routed the Los Angeles Angels 8-2 Tuesday night at Globe Life Park.

Texas (4-5) snapped a two-game losing streak and set up a rubber match in the three-game series Wednesday afternoon. The Rangers beat Los Angeles (3-5) for only the second time at home in the last 12 tries.

Chirinos set a career high for RBIs with a three-run home run and two-run double during the second-best offensive outburst by Texas this season. The Rangers' high for runs came in a 10-1 win over Oakland on Thursday, a game Martinez also won.

Martinez, who went seven scoreless innings against the A's, didn't allow an earned run in seven innings during his second start. A throwing error led to a Los Angeles run in the seventh. Martinez (2-0) allowed five hits and three walks while striking out one.

Los Angeles starter Drew Rucinski (0-1) couldn't escape the third inning after getting roughed up early. Long reliever Jose Alvarez didn't fare much better.

Texas manager Jeff Banister juggled the batting order, and the move paid off. Second baseman Rougned Odor moved up to the leadoff spot, replacing center fielder Leonys Martin, and finished with a hit, a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base.

The trickle-down effect in the lineup included strong showings from shortstop Elvis Andrus (2-for-4, home run) and Martin (two runs). The Rangers finished with 11 hits.

The Angels managed seven hits, two from catcher Chris Iannetta. Los Angeles scored a second run against Texas reliever Phil Klein in the eighth.

The Rangers struck first for the second straight day, both times in the first inning. Designated hitter Mitch Moreland singled up the middle to score Odor, who opened the inning with a walk and stole second.

Texas opened a 4-0 lead in the second against Rucinski on a pair of two-out hits that just eluded Los Angeles center fielder Mike Trout.

Chirinos' double deep into the left-center gap fell between left fielder Matt Joyce and Trout, who appeared to get his glove on the ball. Two runs scored on the play.

Odor followed with a line drive that a diving Trout couldn't control, allowing Chirinos to trot home.

The Rangers extended their lead to 8-0 in a four-run sixth on a pair of homers off Alvarez. Andrus' first home run of the season, a solo shot, preceded Chirinos' three-run blast into the left field bullpen.

NOTES: The Rangers announced before the game that RHP Anthony Ranaudo will start Wednesday in his season debut. Ranaudo, who will recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to replace injured LHP Derek Holland, made seven starts for the Boston Red Sox last season. ... Los Angeles OF Kole Calhoun (calf) is out until at least Friday, meaning the leadoff hitter will miss a minimum of four games. ... Angels RHP Garrett Richards is penciled in for a Sunday return to the rotation after making a rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Salt Lake. ... Texas CF Leonys was dropped to No. 8 in the batting order Tuesday after hitting leadoff in the first eight games. 2B Rougned Odor was moved to the No. 1 spot. ... Texas is the first team since at least 1914 to have one game with at least four home runs in the first eight games of the season while going homerless in the other seven contests.
