Marte Jacks Two Home Runs in 11-9 Texas Win
The Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros in a game featuring much hitting but not much pitching. The final score was 11-9, Rangers. One of the hitting stars was third baseman Noelvi Marte. Marte, who is tied for 8th in the AL in home runs with 4, hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 5. Kumar Rocker snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit over 3 innings. He's now 1-0 on the season. Rayner Urbaez, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 4th save.

Early in the game, Marte had a 3-run home run for Texas. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Rangers on top, 3-0.

Marte said, "Whether you hit the ball hard, you walk, you have a long at-bat, 10 or 12 pitches, or you hit a homer, you're just trying to do anything you can do to help the team win."

With the win, Texas goes to 7-10.
