HOUSTON (AP) — Jonah Heim homered and drove in four runs, and the Texas Rangers beat Houston 12-8 on Friday night to drop the Astros seven games under .500 for the first time in eight years.
Evan Carter added three hits as the Rangers built a 12-3 lead by the sixth inning.
Houston fell to 4-11. The Astros had not been that many games below .500 since they were 22-29 before a Memorial Day win in 2016, a season in which they fell to 20-29 before a five-game winning streak.
“We’re a better team than the way we’re playing right now and it’s just a matter of time when everything kind of clicks and we get going,” Houston manager Joe Espada said.
In their first visit to Houston since Game 7 of last year’s AL Championship Series, the defending champion Rangers rebounded after managing just one hit Thursday as they were shut out for the first time this season in a 1-0 loss to Oakland.
