HOUSTON -- Trying to rally his team from a barrage of injuries and a disastrous start, manager Jeff Banister delivered this message as the Rangers began a six-game road trip: "It only takes all of us."
Somebody heard him.
Namely, the young guys who could become the focus of the season if the calamitous start swells to a catastrophic year.
On Saturday, it was the young guys, especially the two who made their first major league starts this weekend, who helped lead the Rangers to a come-from-behind 10-inning 6-5 win over the world champion Houston Astros.
