On Road, Houston Beats Texas, 7-3
The Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers by a score of 7-3. Houston designated hitter Yordan Alvarez deserved the lion's share of the credit. Alvarez went 1 for 1 with a home run and 4 walks, while scoring 2 runs for the Astros. Dylan Cease, who finished 3rd in the AL in strikeouts with 226 in 2021, was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. The win puts Houston at 2-1.

Houston used the hitting of Alex Bregman to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Astros on top, 3-2. For the game, Bregman had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We did the things that it takes to win a game," said Alvarez.
