Rangers 3, Astros 0
- Congratulations to Martin Perez, the major league leader in shutouts this season.
- It looked like he was going to come just short of getting the CGSO. He was only at 85 pitches going into the ninth, and retired Jose Altuve and Michael Brantley for the first two outs. But singles from Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker brought Yuli Gurriel to the plate as the tying run, leading Chris Woodward to come out to the mound, presumably to get Perez.
- But he didn’t. Woodward told Perez, “You got this,” and let Perez face Gurriel.
