ARLINGTON, Texas (UPI) -- Josh Hamilton hit two of Texas' six homers
Friday and drove in five runs, sending the Rangers to a wild 16-8
victory over Houston.
Hamilton ran his major league-leading RBI total to 49.
Texas let a six-run lead get away in the middle innings, regained the
advantage with a two-run seventh and then broke things open with six
more in the eighth, thanks in part to solo shots by David Murphy and
Chris Shelton and a two-run blast by Michael Young.
Hamilton hit a solo homer in the third and added a three-run job in
the fourth to make it 8-2. Seven of the Rangers' runs were unearned
thanks to five Houston errors.
Although Houston starter Shawn Chacon was roughed up for eight runs in
3 1/3 innings, the fact the Astros came back to tie it at 8-8 allowed
him to set an all-time major league record. He is the first pitcher in
history to open the season with nine straight no-decisions.
The loss went to Wesley Wright (3-1), the third Houston pitcher, who
gave up two runs on three hits in 1 1/3.
Jamey Wright (2-1) got the win with a perfect seventh inning.
