2045 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Houston Astros.

The Texas Rangers overcame a good performance by Houston left fielder Joe Gardner to knock off Houston, 10-5, at Minute Maid Park. Gardner was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Texas has an impressive 100-46 record.

The Rangers got a big at-bat from left fielder Moe Lester. For the game, Lester was 3-5 with 3 doubles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the fourth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 6th double of the season gave Texas a 1-0 lead.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Texas skipper Juan Smith.
