Rangers Win, 3-1, at Houston
Minute Maid Park was the site of a tense game between the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers.

The Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros, 3-1, at Minute Maid Park. Starting pitcher Kelly Goosecock was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. With the win, Texas has a record of 56-64. Houston falls to 50-69.

Texas relied on the hitting of Vince Ealy to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a solo home run in the top of the third inning to put the Rangers on top, 1-0. For the game, Ealy had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Afterward, Rangers manager Juan Smith III was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
