Astros Lose Contest, 4-2
The Texas Rangers picked up a win at Globe Life Field, topping the Houston Astros, 4-2. On the mound for Texas was right-hander Joe Holton. He played a principal role in the triumph. Holton, now 9-8, was the winner. In 6.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 6, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. The Rangers are now 71-71.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Mike Dixon didn't flinch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Houston trailing 4-2, Dixon retired Danny Marbury to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Dixon, with a wink.
