Rangers Win at Houston, 5-2
In the 5-2 Texas win over Houston, the impact of Ismael Villalobos was substantial. Villalobos, who is tied for 3rd in the AL with a .321 batting average, went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Amari Ndiaye recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 34 for 37. The Rangers improve their record to 59-43 with the win over Houston.

With Texas leading 2-1 in the top of the third, Villalobos hit a curveball from Remey Grzych for a solo home run. It was his 34th home run of the season and put the Rangers ahead, 3-1.

"It was just a matter of executing," said Texas manager RD Slack.
