Hot Start Continues for Rangers
Texas second baseman Cesar Hernandez played a vital role in his team's 6-2 triumph over Houston. He was 2-4 with a triple and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Texas. Texas is off to a hot start at 12-5.

Texas grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Hernandez, who leads the AL in triples with 2, hit a run-scoring triple. His 2nd triple of the season put the Rangers out in front, 2-1.

Hernandez attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
