The timely hitting of Luis Valbuena helped the Texas Rangers down the Houston Astros, 6-3. Valbuena went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice for the Rangers.

"We'll grab a cold beverage tonight and go after another win tomorrow," Valbuena said.

The 7th-place Astros have lost 5 straight games.
