Rangers Sneak By Astros, 5-4
The Texas Rangers sent the home crowd home ecstatic.

Texas beat Houston at Globe Life Park in Arlington, eking out a 5-4 win. The win was due in large part to catcher Will D. Smith. He belted 2 home runs. Texas, with the win, is 10-5.

Kyle Seager was the walk-off hero for Texas. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Rangers third baseman hit a dramatic solo home run to send the teams home.

"It's a thrill to get that kind of win," Seager said.
