Rangers 3B Ealy slugs 2 home runs in Win
The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers provided some drama for the home crowd.

Led by Vince Ealy, the Texas Rangers defeated the Houston Astros, 7-6. Ealy hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for the Rangers. John Roe earned the win after being called from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. He upped his record to 3-0. Gavin Nelson nailed down his 3rd save.

Texas used the clutch hitting of Butch Kaiser to capture the win. The designated hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rangers ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We got the victory," said Ealy. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."

Texas is in first place in the American League West Division with a record of 57-48.
