Seven scoreless innings from Nathan Eovaldi held the Houston Astros at bay on Saturday in Arlington as the host Texas Rangers prevailed in a 5-2 victory.
Eovaldi walked four batters but Houston tallied just two hits, as the Astros put only one runner in scoring position in the seven innings that he was on the mound. Will Smith recorded his 15th save of the season, throwing three pitches as he induced a groundout that sealed the win.Astros starter Hunter Brown allowed 10 hits and three runs in four innings. Brown took the loss, despite not walking a batter and striking out six.
The Rangers extended their lead to three runs in the fourth, as Heim led off the inning with a double. Travis Janikowski's single drove home Heim, and Semien did the same two batters later with a two-out hit that dropped into left field, scoring Janikowski from second.
