Houston 5 at Texas 6 - Recap

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rougned Odor's walk-off double scored Adrian Beltre from first base in the ninth inning, giving the Texas Rangers a 6-5 victory over the Houston Astros on Monday.

Odor was 2-for-4 with three RBIs, including a third-inning home run and a game-tying sacrifice fly in the seventh. Ian Desmond and Prince Fielder each had run-scoring hits for Texas.

Texas right-hander Sam Dyson (1-1) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win.

Houston right-hander Ken Giles (0-3) gave up one run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning.

In the Rangers' ninth, Nomar Mazara reached base with a one-out base hit. He was forced out at second on a grounder to short by Beltre, who beat out the relay to first when shortstop Carlos Correa had trouble getting the ball out of his glove. That allowed Odor, batting out of the five hole as the designated hitter, to come up.

The Rangers, whose 35-22 record is the best mark in the AL, are 10-2 in their past 12 games.

Texas second baseman Jurickson Profar extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a leadoff triple that sparked a three-run first. Mazara went 4-for-4, his first career four-hit game, and also reached by hit-by-pitch. Fielder, who sat out the previous two games while mired in a season-long slump, had multiple hits game for the first time since May 11.

Houston's Jose Altuve was 3-for-5 with a three-run home run that erased Texas' early lead. Luis Valbuena and Jason Castro each had two hits for the Astros.

Bother starters took no-decisions.

Houston's Mike Fiers gave up four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over 5 1/3 innings.

Texas' Colby Lewis, vying for his sixth victory against no defeats, worked six innings, giving up four runs -- three earned -- on eight hits and two walks. He struck out four.

Texas scored three times on four hits and an error and wild pitch in the first. Profar started the rally with a leadoff triple.

Desmond, who scored the Rangers' second run on Fiers' wild pitch, and Fielder had RBI singles.

In the third, Lewis committed an error on a throw to second base, where he was trying to catch the lead runner. That put runners on first and second with no outs and Altuve coming to the plate.

The diminutive Astros second baseman drove a 1-0 pitch into the right-field stands to tie the game at 3-all.

The teams traded runs in the fourth, Lewis again limiting the damage after yielding three hits to the first four hitters of the inning.
