The Texas Rangers faced a disappointing 4-3 loss against the Houston Astros, marking a stark contrast from the team's initial hope for a series win. Despite Jack Leiter's impressive start, where he no-hit the Astros for over six innings, the Rangers' bullpen faltered once again, leading to a late-game collapse.

Leiter's performance was noteworthy, allowing only three hits and retiring many batters with minimal pitches. However, Chris Martin's early exit after just one pitch in the eighth inning set the stage for the Astros' comeback, spearheaded by Isaac Paredes' go-ahead home run.

The Rangers managed to score three runs in the fourth, but their overall offense dwindled, raising questions about their hitting consistency. Next, they embark on a challenging road trip against the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox, aiming to regain momentum.
