Late Rally by Rangers Secures Win
Texas rode a decent outing from starter Jon Lester to victory over the Houston Astros at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The final score was 3-2. The winner was Texas reliever Anthony Swarzak, now 1-0. The loser was A.J. Minter. The win moves Texas to a record of 1-1.

The game was decided with no one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Texas trailing 2-1, Max Stassi hit a fastball from A.J. Minter to right for a 2-run home run. Just like that, the Rangers had a walk-off win.

"This place was rocking at the end," Stassi said.
