Houston Gets 5-2 Win
The Houston Astros welcomed the Texas Rangers to an night game at Globe Life Field.

Houston pitcher Framber Valdez did his part in helping his team defeat the Texas Rangers, 5-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the left-hander. Valdez yielded 2 runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. His record improves to 1-0. Hunter Harvey earned the save for Houston, his 4th of the year.

The Astros got a big at-bat from right fielder Lars Nootbaar. For the game, Nootbaar went 2 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk. In the top of the third, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 3rd double of the season gave Houston a 1-0 lead.

"Framber pitched his heart out," said Houston manager Logan F.

Texas falls to 1-6.
