The Astros’ league-leading bullpen failed to hold tonight, allowing the Rangers to turn a 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 win. But three runs seldom win games, as the Astros could muster only seven hits and scored no runs after the second inning.
The Astros took an early lead when Jose Altuve led off the game with a double followed three batters later by a Yordan Alvarez RBI single.
The Astros added two more runs in the second starting with a Jeremy Pena double, who scored on a Mauricio Dubon. Dubon stole second and scored on a Michael Brantley single.
