HOUSTON -- The Texas Rangers trade deadline-day moves bought them a victory Saturday night.Jonathan Lucroy hit two homers, Carlos Beltran had a tiebreaking single and three hits and the Rangers beat the Houston Astros 3-2.Lucroy, Beltran and reliever Jeremy Jeffress were acquired before the trade deadline by the Rangers, and Lucroy hit his first homer with Texas in a 5-3 win Thursday.Theyve shown up huge for us, all three of them, manager Jeff Banister said. Jeffress with the two innings hes thrown for us so far, Lucroy with what you see behind the plate, its All-Star caliber. Frontline caliber. And then at the plate the two home runs tonight, the home run the other night and just the quality of at-bats. And then a future Hall of Famer in my opinion in Beltran. Just as good a hitter as there is in the game.The Rangers improved to 10-2 against the Astros this season and pulled 6 1/2 games ahead of Houston in the AL West.Beltran singled to left off Chris Devenski (0-3) in the seventh to score Shin-Soo Choo and make it 2-1.

The run came in the first inning when Preston Tucker walked with the bases loaded.Houston left seven runners on base through the first three innings against Harrell.Certainly on our end we had a chance in the first, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. ... Chance in the second, chance in the third, chance in the fifth, chance in the ninth. Thats a lot of innings to come away with a couple one-run innings.
