Astros Score Late, Top Rangers, 7-2
The Houston Astros cut down the Texas Rangers by the score of 7-2, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman Alex Bregman. Bregman was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Astros. Houston sits in second place in the American League West Division at 74-59.

Houston took a 7-2 lead on Bregman's 12th home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which he hit off Jesus Estrada in the top of the eighth, propelled Houston to the win.

Said losing manager Marques Williams: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
