Rangers 7, Astros 3: Burger Powers Texas Past Houston

Burger's night in the Lone Star Series

July 10, 2026 – Arlington – Jake Burger paced the offense, and the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 7-3 at Globe Life Field, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.

Texas built a home lead in the Lone Star Series and held off Houston down the stretch. The Astros scored three times but couldn't match the Rangers' offensive output—enough runs to win a rivalry game without ever letting it feel comfortable for the visitors.

Texas pitching kept it at three

Rangers pitching limited Houston to three runs. That's the difference in a 7-3 final: the home team kept pressure on Astros pitching all night while the staff didn't give the inning back.

Burger's 9 hitting FP paced the offense. When your designated bat carries the daily board and the staff holds a division rival to a manageable total, you've checked the boxes for a Friday win in Arlington.
