					| Rangers Win, 3-1, at Houston |  
					| Minute Maid Park was the site of a tense game between the  Houston Astros and Texas Rangers. 
 The Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros, 3-1, at Minute Maid Park. Starting pitcher Kelly Goosecock was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game.  With the win, Texas has a record of 56-64. Houston falls to 50-69.
 
 Texas relied on the hitting of Vince Ealy to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a solo  home run in the top of the third inning to put the Rangers on top, 1-0. For the game, Ealy had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
 
 Afterward, Rangers manager Juan Smith III was ebullient. "That was a fun game to coach," he told a group of reporters, adding, "I hope it was just as fun to watch."
