Houston Hands Texas 3-1 Defeat
In a low-scoring contest between the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers, 25-year old left-handed pitcher Andrew Abbott proved to be the difference. The Houston left-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-1 Astros win. Abbott, the winner, moves to 2-2. He threw 5 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 2 walks. Hunter Harvey wrapped it up, recording his 2nd save.

Joey Ortiz had a direct impact on the outcome. Ortiz contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Houston up, 2-1.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Abbott said.

The win puts Houston at 16-15.
