Houston Dealt 2-0 Defeat
The Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros, 2-0, at Minute Maid Park. Starting pitcher Hayden Wesneski was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Texas is now 54-83, while Houston is 71-66.

Texas took a 2-0 lead on Tom Murphy's 17th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Murphy hit in the top of the seventh, left Houston pitcher David Festa visibly frustrated.

"Hayden made the big pitches when he needed to," said Texas manager Brian O.
