The Houston Astros will look to push their winning streak to three games when they host the Texas Rangers to open a four-game series on Thursday.
The Houston Astros entered play second in the American League in runs (181), hits (318), doubles (72), batting (.260) and OPS (.749) before banging out12 hits in a 9-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.
All five of the Astros extra-base hits cleared the fence, fitting for a team with five players with at least five home runs: Kyle Tucker (eight), Yordan Alvarez and Yuli Gurriel (seven each), and Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa (five apiece). Tucker, Alvarez and Gurriel all homered Wednesday, as did Jose Altuve and Chas McCormick.
