The red-hot Astros may have met their match in the red-hot Rangers. The Astros again overcame a six-run deficit, but then gave up eight unanswered runs to lose, 16-8.

Three random thoughts

  1. Shawn Chacon again avoided a decision. He was pulled when the score was 8-2, but the Astros charged back with eight runs to tie the game and keep Chacon from getting the loss. That’s nine starts without a decision.
  2. The Astros D gave up five errors for the game. Save an exceptional play by Hunter Pence in the outfield, the play was extremely sloppy.
  3. Pence and Lance Berkman kept their hitting streaks alive. That’s 14 and 15, respectively.
