Rangers Win, 7-3, at Houston
The Texas Rangers racked up a win at Minute Maid Park, bumping off the Houston Astros, 7-3. Matt Sigurdson, who started for Texas, pitched effectively for his team. Texas, at 70-35, is 5½ games up in the American League West Division.

Texas used the bat of John Giesbrecht to get the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Rangers ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

In postgame comments to the Texas Herald, Giesbrecht said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
