Giesbrecht Excels in 4-3 Texas Win
Fans watched the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros fight to the finish.

Texas beat Houston at Globe Life Park in Arlington, escaping with a 4-3 win. The win in large part was due to second baseman John Giesbrecht. He belted 3 home runs. The winning pitcher was Kevin Ovens-Toots. He's now 6-12. He went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits for the Rangers.

Giesbrecht had a big at-bat with the bases empty in the bottom of the third inning, when he hit a solo home run. The Rangers went on to win.

Giesbrecht called the win "a lesson in teamwork."

This loss makes it 6 in a row for Houston.
