Houston Crafts 5-3 Win
|
Houston starter Joe Niekro pitched effectively against the Texas Rangers at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-3. Niekro, now 3-0, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 3, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. The Rangers fall to 4-8 and continue their lackluster start to the 2014 season.
Houston used the timely hitting of Joe Ferguson to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Astros on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"I thought we played some darn good baseball," said Astros manager .
