HOUSTON (AP) — Marcus Semien hit a leadoff homer and Nathaniel Lowe’s RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning lifted the Texas Rangers to a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday.
The Rangers ended a two-game skid and snapped Houston’s 10-game home winning streak.
A groundout by Adolis García moved automatic runner Josh Smith to third base with two outs in the 10th. Lowe then lined a single off Tayler Scott (6-3) to left field to send Smith home and put the Rangers on top.
The Rangers loaded the bases in both the seventh and eighth innings, but came away empty both times on a day they went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position.
