Mathis hit a three-run homer to put the Angels ahead on Monday night against the Rangers.
Recommendation: The homer was just the third on the year for Mathis, though his second in his last four games. Mathis isn't playing as frequently as he used to, with the DH option not readily available to fellow catcher Mike Napoli now that Vlad Guerrero is back and hitting better.
