The Rangers struck early with four first-inning runs to beat the Astros 10-4 and salvage the final game of a four-game set at Minute Maid Park. The Rangers lost the first three, including five-run leads in Games 1 and 2, but held on after building a five-run lead in the second. The Astros hadn’t won a four-game series against the Rangers since 2014.
How Rangers pitchers fared: A.J. Griffin returned to the rotation from the disabled list and pitched five solid innings. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk.
