Rangers Edge A’s, Astros Fall to Yankees
They were both close games but, out of 2 Texas Major League Baseball teams, only 1 came away with a victory yesterday as the Rangers beat the A's 7-6, and the Yankees beat the Astros 2-1.
Adrian Beltre hit 2 homers to propel the Rangers to the win, their 3rd in a row. The Rangers upped their lead in the AL West by another game to 3 & 1/2 over the Astros, who fell to the NY Yankees. Austin Romine's double in the 8th inning was the tie breaker that gave the Yanks the win.
