Astros Suffer Frustrating Loss to Rangers, 6-5

It was a thrilling finish on Tuesday night as the Astros surged past the Rangers, 4-3, in the final frames to secure a victory in the intrastate rivalry game.Things got off to an inauspicious start for Houston, as starter Framber Valdez was a bit of a mess in the first inning. He hit leadoff man Shin-Soo Choo, who then stole second base before coming home on a throwing error by Valdez on a ball hit by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Framber then lost a pitch allowing Kiner-Falefa to advance to third base, but did record a strikeout of Jose Trevino in the same plate appearance.
