The Texas Rangers relied on the hitting of right fielder Bryce Harper to stop the Houston Astros, 12-8. For the game, Harper slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The first-place Rangers, at 92-60, now lead their division by 6½ games.

It could have been a different outcome for Texas, had it not been for Joc Pederson, the 27-year old left fielder . Pederson contributed a bases-clearing triple in the top of the tenth inning to put Texas up, 12-8.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a good chance to win the game," said Harper.
