Chirinos returns to Arlington. Here’s why Rangers wish he hadn’t after 2-1 loss to Astros

Brad Peacock allowed only one run on two hits Monday night, and Robinson Chirinos made two key plays against his old team as the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 2-1.

George Springer started the game with a home run, and Chirinos collected the go-ahead RBI double in the sixth and also threw out Rougned Odor trying to steal second base after leadoff walk in the seventh.

The only Rangers run came on a solo homer by Ronald Guzman.

Drew Smyly made his first MLB start since 2016 and labored over three innings despite allowing only one run, the Springer homer.
