Houston AstrosvsTexas Rangers
HOU 7/TEX 10
Things to say
Rangers beat the Astros 10-7 at Globe Life Field.
01
opener
Rangers took down Houston 10-7 last night. Bats were alive early and Texas just never let them back in it. Always feels good when they handle the Astros at home.
02
key player
Texas lineup put up ten — heart of the order did the damage. When the middle of that order gets going, good luck.
03
hot take
Houston's bullpen is cooked. Manager went to the pen too early and it bit him again.
04
deep cut
Astros are 24-32 now — that's not a slow start anymore, that's just who they are. Wild to see them under .500 this deep in.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if Texas can keep it rolling the rest of the series. Should be a fun one.
The recap
Rangers took down the Astros 10-7 at Globe Life in a slugfest that felt more like a Home Run Derby than a pitchers' duel. Both bullpens got roughed up, and with no individual leaders jumping off the page, this was a heart-of-the-order, everyone-eats kind of night for Texas.
The Astros hung around but couldn't get the big stop when it mattered, and Texas pulled away late to snap a stretch where they've been scuffling under .500. Lone Star bragging rights go to Arlington tonight.
