The Texas Rangers gave the Houston Astros a game last night. Texas had a lead through four innings, but Houston clawed away from there. Mike Minor kept pace with another solid outing; however, a stressful 6th inning against the middle of the Astros lineup cut it short. He left with the game tied at two.
The Rangers got a nice appearance from Ariel Jurado in relief, though it was once again Jose Leclerc that hurt their chances of winning the ballgame.
Leclerc allowed one hit and three walks, one of which occurred against Michael Brantley with the bases loaded.
