Astros Beat Rangers in Arlington

You could call it lucky 13 because, that's how many games it took for the Houston Astros to beat the Texas Rangers in Arlington, which they did last night 3-1.

The Astros haven't had a lot of luck against the Rangers this year, losing their first 8 against the team, 12 straight in Arlington but, last night was different as Jose Altuve broke a tie in the 7th with a 2-run double.

Doug Fister got the win for the Astros, improving his record to 6-3, and marking his 5th win in his last 8 starts. He had 5 strikeouts and gave up 1 run in 6 innings. Will Harris got his 2nd save, as he improved to a record-setting 26 & 1/2  consecutive scoreless innings, the longest streak in the majors so far this season.

The state rivalry continues today in Arlington at 1:05 p.m.
