The Texas Rangers needed two late frame Bomb both two-run blasts to get by the AL West leading Houston Astros to move within a 1/2 game of the 'Stros. Both starter in Scott Kazmir and Cole Hamels left after seven strong both giving up three runs and they get no-decisions.

The "Fireworks" started in the 6th as Mitch Moreland took Kazmir deep for the first two-run blast making it 3-2 Rangers after six. A Colby Rasmus RBI single in the 7th tied the game up as Hamels would leave after seven with it all knotted up at 3-3.

Then on the 8th with Will Harris relief pitching for the 'Stros Prince Fielder doing what Prince does takes Harris deep with Adrian Beltre for a two-run bomb as Prince was looking for something to poke over the fence and got it as it was 5-3 Rangers heading into the 9th.

Rangers Captain Save-A_Game Shawn Tolleson locked up his 32nd save as Texas moves to 76-67 and the 'Stros fall to 77-67...as we have three more games to go in Arlington, Texas!
