Josh Smith homered twice with four RBIs to lead the Texas Rangers to a 4-2 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday.
“They should feel good about how we finished up here,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “We have a lot of baseball left and we have to make up ground, we know that. But if we play that type of ball, good things can happen.” “I’m just pleased at how I’m continuing to ramp up and how I continue to execute,” he said. “And my pitches I just feel like continue to get better every single time out. So this is a good team win and a good way to go into the break.”
Blanco has steadied a rotation decimated by injuries through the first half of the season and enters the break with a 2.56 ERA and leads the Astros in wins. The Astros had a shot to tie it or take the lead in the fifth. Peña and Meyers both singled before Loperfido walked to load the bases with no outs in the inning and chase Scherzer. Josh Sborz took over and escaped the jam by striking out Mauricio Dubón before retiring Altuve on a pop up and Bregman on a groundout to end the inning.
