Tony Prado was a major factor in the 11-4 Texas win over Houston. The Rangers left fielder went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Franz Holzknecht picked up the win, improving his season record to 12-6. He struck out 3 in 6 innings. Texas is now 72-85.

With two out in the bottom of the fourth, Rich Chavez barreled up a splitter from Justin Ezzell. The result was a 3-run home run, putting the Rangers in front, 6-2.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Chavez told the Texas Daily News. "It's as simple as that."
