Rangers Claim Crucial Series Win over Astros
The Rangers' 4-2 victory ended a nine-year home series drought against the Astros and narrowed Houston's AL West lead to four games with 18 remaining.
- The Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 4-2 on Sunday at Globe Life Field to clinch a crucial home series win.
- To remain in contention for a postseason spot, the Rangers had to secure this win and reach a significant achievement they hadn’t accomplished in more than four years.
- Jake Burger launched a two-run homer over the outstretched glove of Cam Smith, giving Texas a 4-1 lead, while rookie Cody Freeman contributed important hits, including a two-out single off Framber Valdez.
- Patrick Corbin kept the Astros off the scoreboard and without a hit until the fifth inning, while Framber Valdez gave up three straight hits just before escaping the sixth, including a pivotal two-run homer, resulting in one of his uncommon struggles despite maintaining a 2.73 ERA against Texas.
- This win marked the Rangers' first home series victory over the Astros since May 2021 and keeps alive their chance to clinch the Lone Star Series by winning one of their remaining games this September in Houston.
