Texas fell 6-3 at Houston, hampered by miscues and missed chances as they slipped three games back in the AL Wild Card race. A two-run homer by Josh Jung in the fifth gave Texas a brief lead before Yainer Diaz and Houston answered with a go-ahead shot and late insurance. Jack Leiter struggled after a shaky first, and a Beasley call at home capped a frustrating night for the visitors. Fantasy takeaways center on Jung power, Langford’s growing role, and Leiter’s volatility the rest of the series.

With Corey Seager and Marcus Semien nearing returns, Texas will lean on depth and breakout performances to salvage the series. In Houston, Diaz, Cole, and the rest of the Astros' lineup showed the offense still has bite, especially against righties. For fantasy managers, target Jung's power, Langford's development, and Houston’s midseason spark as potential DFS differentiators in the next game.
