					| Rangers Rally For 5-2 Win |  
					| Texas rode a good effort from starter Kelly Goosecock to beat the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 5-2. Kyle Curve earned the save for Texas, his 15th of the year. The Rangers sit in third place in the American League West Division with a record of 57-53. 
 Texas used the timely hitting of Marc Peckermark to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run  single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
 
 "I found a nice groove out there," said Goosecock.
