Joc Pederson Homer Caps 8-Run 1st as Rangers Beat Astros 10-7 a Night After Houston's No-Hitter
Joc Pederson’s three-run homer sparked an eight-run first inning, and Texas ended Houston’s four-game winning streak, the Elias Sports Bureau said.
- On Tuesday night, the Texas Rangers rallied for a 10-7 victory over the Houston Astros, just one day after surrendering a no-hitter to three Houston pitchers on Monday.
- After Tatsuya Imai, Steven Okert and Alimber Santa combined for a 9-0 no-hit victory Monday, the Rangers responded with an eight-run first inning—the second-largest comeback frame for a team that went hitless previously, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
- Joc Pederson drove a fastball about a dozen rows into right field for his fourth homer to cap the barrage, while Jake Burger added a two-run single and Evan Carter drove in two more with a triple; Yordan Alvarez homered twice including a 449-foot three-run shot for his 18th of the season.
- Jack Leiter retired the final eight hitters to preserve the lead, and Jacob Latz pitched 1 1/3 innings for his sixth save, getting Alvarez on a sharp grounder to end the game two batters after Jeremy Peña's solo homer.
- The victory ended Houston's four-game winning streak while halting Texas' four-game skid, with Houston RHP Mike Burrows set to face Jacob deGrom in the third game of the four-game set.
