Rangers Get Close Win Over Astros
Texas right-hander Yonny Chirinos pitched his team to victory over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The final score was 4-1. Will Harris earned the save, his 13th. Texas has an impressive 28-11 record.

Texas used the bat of Cesar Hernandez to get the win. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Rangers ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I really like what we did out there today," Hernandez said after the game.
