Houston used a superb performance from starting pitcher Ricardo Acosta to down the Texas Rangers, 4-0. Now 7-11, the Rangers have gotten off to a poor start.

Acosta, a native of La Ceiba, Honduras, was dealing all game. He kept Texas hitters off-balance, while giving the Astros 7 quality innings. Acosta threw 104 pitches, allowing 4 hits and striking out 9.

"Ricardo -- his tempo and rhythm were good," said Astros manager Dave DaSilva. "He was the key to us winning."
