Marcus Semien hit a leadoff homer and Nathaniel Lowe’s RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning lifted the Texas Rangers to a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday.A groundout by Adolis García moved automatic runner Josh Smith to third base with two outs in the 10th. Lowe then lined a single off Tayler Scott to left field to send Smith home and put the Rangers on top.
“It’s just one of those things where we didn’t really execute today until we executed at the end,” Lowe said. “Intense game, no getting around it,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. “Both sides had to make a lot of pitches with the game on the line and they did it.”Joey Loperfido singled with two outs in the ninth but David Robertson retired Mauricio Dubón on a groundout to end the inning. The Astros challenged the call, but it was upheld to send it to the 10th.“I was safe,” said Dubón, who was ejected for the first time in his career.“We kept fighting until the end,” he said.
Alex Bregman and Alvarez hit consecutive singles with one out in the bottom of the inning before a single by Diaz scored Bregman to tie it at 1-1. Jon Singleton singled to load the bases before Jeremy Peña reached on catcher’s interference to apparently send another run home.Corey Seager singled with one out in the sixth before Arrighetti hit Smith with a pitch. There were two outs in the inning when García walked to load the bases.
