					| Rangers Drop Astros, 8-0 |  
					| The Texas Rangers got a strong performance from pitcher Kelly Goosecock, who stymied the Houston offense en route to a win, 8-0, at Minute Maid Park. Goosecock went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 7. His record improves to 1-5.  The slumping Astros have dropped 8 in a row. 
 Texas relied on the hitting of Rich Chavez to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 3-run  home run in the top of the second inning to put the Rangers on top, 4-0. For the game, Chavez had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
 
 "If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Chavez told the Texas Daily News.
