David Murphy, Leonys Martin, and Adrian Beltre all homer as Texas dominates the Astros with a 12-7 win in Houston. The Rangers scoring in bunches with 4 runs in the 3rd, 3 in the 4th, and 4 more runs in the 5th.
It makes a winner out of Nick Tepesch who bounces back from two straight poor outings. The rookie Tepesch allows only a solo home run through 6 innings, striking out a career high 8.
