Houston Decked by Pederson, Rangers
Spirited fans greeted the Houston Astros for their clash with the Texas Rangers.

The Texas Rangers grabbed a win, 10-2, over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Texas left fielder Joc Pederson belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Matt Shoemaker. He tossed 92 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits.

Pederson had a key at-bat for Texas early in the game. With the bases empty, he hit a solo home run. It was his 33rd home run of the season and gave Texas an early 1-0 lead.

"We took it on the chin today," said losing manager Craig Puckett.

The victory gives Texas a record of 84-45.
