The inning was marked by a pivotal double from Cam Smith, followed by a two-run single from Isaac Paredes that turned the game in Houston's favor. The Astros were previously held to just two hits through six innings against Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi, who recorded a no-decision after allowing only two unearned runs over 5.2 innings.

Texas had taken an early lead, but their bullpen faltered in the seventh, with Shawn Armstrong failing to retire any hitters. Lance McCullers Jr. made a solid return, limiting damage to two runs in four innings, showcasing improved control after a rough outing against the Reds. Houston's bullpen continued to shine, holding Texas to just one run in the last five innings. The Astros now show promise with an offense that can break out unexpectedly, keeping them formidable as they continue their season.
