Zobrist Helps Astros Run Win Streak to 5
The Texas Rangers and Houston Astros provided some drama at Minute Maid Park.

Houston second baseman Ben Zobrist picked up 4 ribbies while helping his team beat back the Texas Rangers, 6-5. Houston is now riding a 5-game win streak.

Zobrist had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 2-2 fastball from Reyes Moronta, he banged a 3-run home run to right, giving the Astros a 6-5 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Zobrist.

"I like how we're playing right now," said Zobrist.
