					| Rangers Lose to Astros, 5-1 |  
					| Houston turned a good effort from starter Salisbury Swanson into a win over the Texas Rangers at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 5-1. In 6 innings, Swanson surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 3 and  walking 5. He allowed no runs. Kyle McPeak got the save, his 14th in 16 chances. 
 The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Arturo Vargas didn't flinch. With a runner on 1st and Texas trailing 2-1, Vargas retired Andy Bowman to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Vargas, with a wink.
 
 The Astros now have a record of 48-90.
