The Houston Astros relied on the hitting of first baseman Dominic Smith to stop the Texas Rangers, 6-3.

Rougned Odor aided the Houston cause with a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the designated hitter went 2 for 3 with 2 singles.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Odor told the Houston Chronicle.

Their 19-21 record puts the Astros third in the American League West Division.
