Astros Earn Win with Late Rally
The Houston Astros saddled the Texas Rangers with a loss at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. The final score was 6-5. Bonnie Serrell was 2 for 3, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Houston second baseman scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The win went to Brad Lidge in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Charlie Hough took the loss. After losing, Texas is 10-13.

Houston used the timely hitting of Carlos Correa to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Astros on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Correa.
