Astros Get Thrilling 9-8 Win
In a high-scoring contest between Houston and Texas, center fielder Harold Ramirez was a difference-maker. Ramirez distinguished himself in the 9-8 Houston win. He was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The Rangers drop to 5-9.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the sixth for Houston. That's when 28-year old catcher Jonah Heim hit a run-scoring double off Chris Stratton to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Ramirez.
