ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers announced their return to contention with the first big move of trading season.Mauricio Dubón lined a go-ahead, two-run double in the sixth inning, and the Astros beat the Rangers 5-3 on Friday night to open a series matching Texas rivals atop the AL West.
Houston, which has won five of the past six division titles and two championships in that span, had cut the deficit to one when Dubón sent a liner past the rookie Jung at third base after José Abreu and Yainer Diaz opened the sixth with consecutive singles. “They have a good bullpen,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. “You know you have your hands full. They do a good job late in the ballgame. That’s what they’re known for.”
