Houston pitcher Robbie Ray did his part in helping his team beat the Texas Rangers, 10-3. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. The defending champion Astros have struggled a bit to find their groove this season, but improve to 7-8 with the win.

The Astros had to work out of trouble in the top of the eighth. The score was 10-1, Houston, with one out. Texas, with the bases loaded, was mounting a threat. Eric Thames dug in at the plate, but on a 0-2 fastball, he struck out.
