Rangers Sneak Past Astros, 3-2
The Texas Rangers defeated the Houston Astros, 3-2, in American League action at Minute Maid Park. Texas pitcher Gavin Nelson had a standout performance. Texas pitcher Kyle Curve got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Salisbury Swanson got the loss. Brad Kramer closed the game out for Texas, earning his 3rd save.

Texas used a timely hit from Butch Kaiser to get the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Houston manager Dave DaSilva said following the tough loss.

Texas is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 8th in 20 games.
