The Houston Astros knocked off the Texas Rangers, 5-2, at Minute Maid Park. Ted Valéncia was a big reason Houston won. The pitcher threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs. In 7 innings, Valéncia surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. José Reyes was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 37 of 41 save opportunities.

The Astros got a big at-bat from designated hitter Joe Rivera. For the game, Rivera was 1 for 5 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 15th home run of the season gave Houston a 4-2 lead.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Houston skipper Jay Wells.

The first-place Astros have won 5 straight.
