The Houston Astros overcame a fine performance by Texas pinch hitter Addick de Vries to defeat the Rangers, 5-4, at Minute Maid Park. de Vries was 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Brian Thomas sewed up the save, his 5th. Houston is now riding a 4-game win streak.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Troy Kenyon came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Texas pitcher Danny Romero, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Houston on top, 5-4.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Kenyon told the Houston News.
