Astros Stumble, Lose to Rangers
The Texas Rangers picked up a win at Globe Life Park in Arlington, knocking off the Houston Astros, 8-2. Starting pitcher Ezra Varney was a big reason why. The Rangers, now 11-4, have been on fire in the early going.

Henry Contreras hit a 2-run double off Manny Ricardo in the bottom of the fourth, which put the Rangers in front, 3-1. In addition to the double, Contreras had 1 single, while going 2 for 4.

"Winning is the only thing that really matters," Varney told the Texas Daily. "If you can win without even breaking a sweat, more power to you."
