Jose Altuve's 2-HR day carries Astros over Rangers

Jose Altuve smacked two home runs as part of a three-hit game as the host Houston Astros topped the Texas Rangers 8-5 on Sunday in the rubber match of a three-game series. Altuve drilled a pair of solo shots off Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi (1-1) for his 11th career multi-homer game. Altuve, who had his fourth three-hit game of the season, added a leadoff single in the seventh inning that kickstarted a three-run frame.
