Texas Rangers
Texas only got four innings out of Shelby Miller but he held it together well enough to give the offense a chance to win it for Texas in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Win it the Rangers did. Hunter Pence hit a pinch-hit grand slam and the Rangers earned a two-game split with a 9–6 win. Roughned Odor and Joey Gallo also homered in the win.

Gallo’s homer landed in the Allegheny River, as did the Pirates’ Josh Bell. The two compared muscles afterward in a light-hearted moment.
Texas brought in Lance Lynn because he was a proven innings-eater who could bring stability to the pitching staff. He’s learning quickly that he doesn’t have the be perfect to win games for the Rangers.
Lynn is averaging close to six innings in his seven starts, despite having an ERA close to 6.00. He’s won four games and lost just twice, too. He’s averaging double-digit hits per nine innings, which would be the first for him in his career.
Houston Astros
Brad Peacock made things easy for the rest of Houston’s pitching staff in Wednesday’s 9–0, series-clinching win over the Royals. Peacock went seven strong and struck out twelve before Josh James pitched the last two easy frames in the blowout.
Michael Brantley hit home runs number eight and nine in the win and drove in three runs. He had an OPS+ of 151 prior to the game so he’s probably closing in on 160. Houston gave him $32 million for two years in the offseason.

It’s Justin Verlander in the opener. He’s 5–1 with a 150 ERA+ and a WHIP under 0.90. Ten home runs allowed so far is on the high side but you have to nitpick to find a critique with Verlander.
