Texas beat Houston on the strength of starter Jose Quintana's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a 5-1 win. Texas goes to 68-37. The win puts them 10½ games up in their division.

Andrelton Simmons, who is a three-time Great Glove Award winner, aided the Texas cause with a run-scoring single in the top of the third. For the game, the shortstop was 2 for 4 with a double, while adding 2 RBI.

"It's a mindset," said Quintana. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
