The AL West-leading Texas Rangers beat the second-place Houston Astros 5-2 on Saturday.
ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JULY 01: Josh Jung #6 of the Texas Rangers runs to first base on his RBI double during the seventh inning against the Houston Astros at Globe Life Field on July 01, 2023 in Arlington, Texas. Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven scoreless innings to become the American League's second 10-game winner and the AL West-leading Texas Rangers beat the second-place Houston Astros 5-2 on Saturday.
Marcus Semien, Corey Seager and Josh Jung, the three Rangers infielders selected by fans as All-Star starters, each drove in a run. Switch-hitting catcher Jonah Heim, also voted in this week to start for the AL team July 11 in Seattle, had three hits and scored a run. Newly acquired hard-throwing reliever Aroldis Chapman , who joined the Rangers a day after being traded from Kansas City, was in the bullpen but never warmed up.
With two games left in the four-game series, the Rangers restored the five-game division lead they had had before losing the opener 5-3 on Friday night.
