The Astros blew open a close game with a nine-run sixth inning to take the series finale against the Rangers 13-2 Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park.
How Rangers pitchers fared: Andrew Cashner worked out of jams in each of the first three innings, allowing runs in the first and second but escaped unscathed in the third after the Astros had runners on the corners with no outs. Carlos Beltran lined out to first base and Joey Gallo was able to double up Carlos Correa for a double play before Cashner struck out Brian McCann to strand Jose Altuve at third.
