The Texas Rangers defeat the Houston Astros 7-3 on Friday night, with key power in the eighth inning. After Houston rallies to tie the game in the seventh, the Rangers score four runs in the eighth, breaking the contest. Wyatt Langford starts the rally with a leadoff home run, and Jake Burger adds extra damage with a three-run homer. The blasts come off Astros pitcher Bryan King, who is charged with the runs that extend Texas’s lead. Earlier in the game, Houston had been trailing 3-0 but later stages a comeback, including long balls from Yordan Alvarez. Alvarez hits his 200th career home run, which is also his 30th of the season, as part of Houston’s seventh-inning effort to level the score. With Texas adding insurance in the eighth, the Rangers hold on for the win 7-3, preventing any further Astros comeback.
