The Texas Rangers got a superb performance from designated hitter Max Muncy, but the Houston Astros still won the game, 5-4.

Houston relied on the hitting of Dustin Pedroia to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Astros on top, 5-4. For the game, Pedroia had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I felt good up there," said Pedroia. "I saw the ball well."
