Houston Sunk by Texas, 3-2
The Texas Rangers picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, knocking off the Houston Astros, 3-2. Starting pitcher Lance Lynn was a big reason why. Lynn, now 8-4, was the winner. In 6.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 4, walking 1, and allowing no runs. With the win, Texas pushed its record to 60-41.

Texas relied on the bat of Bryce Harper to get the win. The right fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 2-0. For the game, Harper had 1 double and 1 home run in 3 at-bats.

"I take a professional approach to my job," said Lynn. "I've been around this game for a while."
