The Rangers took down the Astros 4-2 Sunday to win the series and pull within four games of the AL West lead. They also stay 1.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot.
Patrick Corbin went 5.2 innings, allowing just one run and holding Houston hitless until the 5th.
All four Texas runs came with two outs in the 6th—highlighted by Josh Jung’s RBI double and Jake Burger’s two-run homer.
