Rangers Score Late, Top Astros, 7-5
Texas withstood an impressive performance by Houston first baseman Dominic Smith to defeat the Astros, 7-5, at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Smith went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The Rangers, now 4-1, have stormed out of the gates.

Had Joc Pederson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Pederson hit a 3-run home run. That made the score 7-5, in favor of the Rangers.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Pederson said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
