It’s a good time to enjoy the Astros. For the fifth game in a row, they came out with the victory. On Saturday, Houston defeated the Rangers 6-5, holding off a comeback attempt by Texas in the late innings. A four-bagger from Kyle Tucker’s bat made the difference in Minute Maid Park.
Two productive innings were enough for the Astros, who scored four runs in the bottom first and two more in the seventh. After the Rangers took an early lead in the top of the first with a Nate Lowe sac fly, Alex Bregman hit a 2-run single and Carlos Correa followed with a 2-run, opposite-field long ball.
