ARLINGTON -- Rangers designated hitter Shin-Soo Choo launched a home run off Astros right-hander Gerrit Cole in the third inning of Wednesday's series finale to extend his Major League-high on-base streak to 44 games.
Choo is now tied with Otis Nixon for the second-longest on-base streak in club history. Nixon had a streak of 44 games in 1995. Julio Franco holds the club record of 46 games in 1993.
The Rangers recorded five hits off Cole in the first three innings, the most they have had in the four times they've faced Cole this season.
