Rangers Keep Streak Alive with Late Rally
Houston got a terrific performance from pitcher Brian Thomas, but it wasn't enough to beat the Texas Rangers. Texas won the Minute Maid Park contest, 4-2. Thomas threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. Brad Kramer recorded his 30th save for Texas. The American League West Division-leading Rangers are 102-46.

It could have been a different outcome for Texas, had it not been for Johan de Vries, the 29-year old catcher . de Vries contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the eighth inning to put Texas up, 3-2.

"We put together a nice win," de Vries said.
