Astros outlast Rangers after A.J. Hinch argues for balk call

The Houston Astros scored the winning run against the Texas Rangers on Sunday when manager A.J. Hinch successfully argued that the Rangers' Keone Kela had balked with a runner on third, even though the call hadn't originally been made on the field.

With runners on second and third and the count 1-2 on the Astros' Evan Gattis, Kela made a quick pitch to Gettis that was called a ball. After he made the pitch, Hinch came out of the dugout to point out that the pitch was illegal and should have resulted in a balk.
