48-61 - Rangers waste opportunity to take opener against Astros

The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Houston Astros scored seven runs.

The Rangers were cruising along in this one up 4-0 into the bottom of the 4th and starter Martin Perez hadn’t allowed a baserunner over the first time through the order.

By the end of the half inning, it was 4-4 as Aledmys Diaz hit a two-out grand slam to tie the game. Adolis Garcia got the lead back the next half inning with a solo home run but Houston scored two more their next time up to take a lead that they wouldn’t relinquish and now the Rangers are a season-worst 13 games under .
