The Rangers received another strong start from Andrew Cashner but it wasn’t enough Sunday afternoon against the Astros, who prevented a sweep with a 2-1 win at Globe Life Park. The Astros snapped a five-game losing streak and the Rangers’ three-game win streak came to an end.
How Rangers pitchers fared: Jose Altuve’s solo homer gave the Astros a 1-0 lead against starter Andrew Cashner. They added another run in the seventh to reclaim a 2-1 lead. Yuli Gurriel led off with a double off the wall in center field and scored from third on Carlos Beltran’s sinking liner that fell in front of left-fielder Delino DeShields.
