Rangers 6, Astros 1: Darvish again dominates in Houston

What now?

The Houston Astros lost another player on Monday night. Outfielder Josh Reddick exited the game after crashing into the wall in right field, attempting to catch a flyball from Joey Gallo in the second inning.

It was that kind of night for the Astros in a 6-1 loss in game one against the Rangers.

The Rangers once again used Yu Darvish to dominate in Minute Maid Park. He allowed only one hit over seven innings. Darvish was 4-1 with a 2.16 ERA in six career starts at Minute Maid Park.

The Astros' one run came in the fifth inning after Carlos Beltran led off with a walk. He moved to second on a ground out and scored on an Alex Bregman single.

Nomar Mazara blew the game open in the eight innings with a three-run home run off Dayan Diaz.

Joe Musgrove only went 4 2/3 innings in the return to the starting rotation. He threw 75 pitches, striking out two and walking one.
