Oklahoma City Defeated By Rangers, 6-5
Houston designated hitter Steve Duda was a significant contributor in his team's 6-5 triumph over the Oklahoma City Twisters. He went 2-4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Rangers. The winning pitcher was Alex Matos. He's now 7-9. He went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits for the Rangers. Johnny Fontaine, credited with the save, is now 4 for 6 in save opportunities.

Early in the game, Duda had a grand slam home run for Houston. It was his 9th home run of the season and put the Rangers on top, 4-0.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Duda told the Houston News.

With the win, Houston upped its record to 56-53.
