Astros Fall, 6-2, to Kiner, Rangers
The Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros, 6-2, at Minute Maid Park. The win was due in part to left fielder Ralph Kiner, who hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. The win puts the Rangers at 70-78, while the Astros drop to 69-79.

Texas relied on the hitting of Melvin Nieves to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Rangers on top, 3-0. For the game, Nieves had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

Kiner called the win "a collective effort."
