The Texas Rangers scored once but the Houston Astros scored many and very often until they had 15 runs.
Spencer Howard is a top pitching prospect but the Rangers are quickly finding out that perhaps there was a reason for why the Phillies were so quick to trade him.
That’s not my attempt at being dour about the trade, but more so that it’s now on Howard and Texas to figure out what made him a heralded guy in the first place and get him back on track.
Tonight, however, Howard was derailed by the Astros for six runs in 1 1⁄3 innings.
