					| Texas Gets 4-2 Win |  
					| Texas third baseman Tze-meng Gan contributed to his team's 4-2 win over the Houston Astros. Gan, who finished 2nd in the NL in RBI with 153 in 2034, went 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Rangers. Mike Webb, credited with the save, is now 7 for 7 in save opportunities. The victory gives Texas a record of 76-46. 
 Ray Llewellyn had a critical at-bat with one out in the top of the sixth for Texas. He came through with a 2-run  single to put Texas in front, 4-1.
 
 "No time for flexing," said Llewellyn. "It's always one game at a time."
