For the second straight weekend the Rangers pull off a 3-game sweep, and they are now the best team in baseball.
David Murphy, Leonys Martin, and Adrian Beltre all homer as Texas dominates the Astros with a 12-7 win in Houston. The Rangers scoring in bunches with 4 runs in the 3rd, 3 in the 4th, and 4 more runs in the 5th.
It makes a winner out of Nick Tepesch who bounces back from two straight poor outings. The rookie Tepesch allows only a solo home run through 6 innings, striking out a career high 8.
The Rangers now 24-13 on the year and they have a 6 game lead over the A's in the AL West. They visit Oakland for the next 3 starting at 9:07 tonight with Justin Grimm facing A.J. Griffin on the mound.
