ARLINGTON -- More than anything, Astros starter Dallas Keuchel lamented the unusually high number of hits he gave up to left-handed hitters Friday night, including a home run by Nomar Mazara of the Rangers in the second inning.
Keuchel, who dominated Texas last year, was good but not quite good enough, allowing seven hits and three runs in six innings while taking the loss in the Rangers' 5-1 win over the Astros in the second game of their season-opening series at Globe Life Park.
"I usually corral those lefties," Keuchel said.
