Thoughts on a 2-1 Rangers loss

Astros 2, Rangers 1

• One run wasn’t enough tonight.
• The fact that it was even a close game, though, feels somewhat surprising. Jordan Lyles came into the game with a 7.80 ERA and has been providing Mark Clark flashbacks, having allowed at least three runs in every outing other than his 2 inning appearance outing out of the bullpen in game four while supposedly tipping his pitches and battling command issues with his breaking ball.
• After a 1-2-3 first Lyles started the second by walking Alex Bregman, then gave up a home run to right by Kyle Tucker, making it 2-0.
