Tough Loss for the Astros in Texas 
The Houston Astros were in Arlington to face the Texas Rangers, and despite a competitive spirit, they faltered in a 4-2 loss. Things started out quietly, with both Jeremy Peña and Yordan Alvarez unable to convert opportunities in the top of the first inning. Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa both hit lineouts too, leaving fans hopeful for better momentum in subsequent innings. Early Errors Prove Costly 
In the bottom of the second inning, an unfortunate error by our catcher Yainer Diaz allowed the Rangers to score their first run of the game. After Dylan Moore singled and stole second, Jonah Heim struck out swinging, and Moore scored due to an error, putting Rangers temporarily in the lead without the need for a hit. It was a tough pill to swallow, but we still had plenty of game left.Close but Not Close Enough 
Finally, in the top of the 6th inning, our guys rallied! Mauricio Dubón doubled to center, followed by Jeremy Peña's single which drove Dubón home, leveling the score at 1-1. However, the Rangers answered back swiftly in the bottom of the same inning with a crucial double from Josh Jung and a homer from Jake Burger, putting us behind 4-1. Christian Walker managed to score in the top of the 7th to inch us closer to 4-2, but despite these efforts, the game slipped away.Game Highlights and Takeaways 
An exciting game, albeit a challenging one. Pitching by Jake Meyers and Mauricio Dubón's consistent performances were laudable despite the scoreline. The Astros showcased resilience but fell short when it came down to the clutch moments. Time to regroup and prepare for the next challenge. Go Astros!
