After moving one-half game ahead of the slumping New York Yankees for the AL's best record with a win over the Texas Rangers, the Houston Astros were already looking ahead to their next challenge. “There's a lot of baseball left and we've got to keep working," catcher Martín Maldonado said. Framber Valdez threw seven shutout innings, Maldonado and Alex Bregman homered with three RBIs each, and the Astros beat the Rangers 7-3 on Thursday in manager Dusty Baker's return after he missed five games with COVID-19.
Leody Taveras drove in a career-high five runs as the Texas Rangers defeated the Houston Astros by a score of 8-4 in extra innings.
The Texas Rangers placed Spencer Howard on the 15 day injured list prior to last night’s game. To take Howard’s place on the active roster, the Rangers recalled pitcher John King from AAA Round Rock. Howard has been placed on the injured list with a “shoulder impingement,” which could be something significant and which could be something very minor, though Chris Woodward said it was apparently significant enough that Howard wasn’t going to be able to make his next start.
