Abreu, Houston Start Round 2 Strong with Home Win
The Houston Astros powered past the visiting Texas Rangers, 5-4, in the opener of the Round 2 at Minute Maid Park today. Houston first baseman José Abreu went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2, to lead the charge. The Astros now lead the series 1-0.

The Astros took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning. Facing Texas hurler Andrew Heaney with no outs, Abreu hit a run-scoring triple.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Texas manager Juan Smith. "But we decided not to take it."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Globe Life Field in Arlington.
