Nathan Eovaldi, the ace of the Rangers, opened the game for Texas, while southpaw Framber Valdez played for the Astros.

Eovaldi told reporters after the game:

"They came into our place and took it to us for three straight games and for us to be able to turn the page, have that off day, recharge, get back to going the way we know we’re able to play to come out tonight and play really well.

"It was a close game. Tomorrow we have to come in ready to go.”

Over six and a third innings, Nathan Eovaldi limited the Astros to two runs on five hits and three walks. Altuve threw his 88th pitch on a one-out bloop single in the seventh inning.
