Rangers Fall to Astros in Crushing Loss

The Texas Rangers fell flat again, losing 5-1 to the Astros in a brutal start that saw Houston score three runs in the first inning—their 17th and 18th first-inning runs this season. Despite Nathan Eovaldi settling down to allow just four hits over seven innings, the Rangers’ offense barely scratched the surface with only four hits and one run, courtesy of Josh Jung’s solo homer. Now tied with Houston in the standings and sitting at a season-low six games under .500, the Rangers head to Kansas City for a crucial series opener against the Royals, with MacKenzie Gore taking the mound against Stephen Kolek.
