5 Straight Wins for Astros
The Houston Astros knocked off the Texas Rangers, 5-3, at Minute Maid Park. Bryan Johnston was a big reason Houston won. The shortstop was 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was Moises Hernandez Jr.. He's now 6-12. He went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits for the Astros. This win makes it 5 in a row for Houston.

With Houston leading 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Johnston hit a run-scoring single off Texas hurler Kevin Ovens-Toots. It was the 18th hit of the season for Johnston and put his team ahead, 5-3.

"I like our mindset right now," said Houston manager Dave DaSilva.
