Rangers Live Scoring, Updates from Astros Showdown After No-Hitter

The Texas Rangers are seeking to rebounds after being no-hit by the Houston Astros as they prepare to face off again on Tuesday at Globe Life Field.

The Astros used three pitchers to no-hit the Rangers (24-29) on Monday, including rookie Alimber Santa, who made his MLB debut in the eighth to pitch the final two innings to cap off the sixth no-hitter thrown against the Rangers in franchise history and the first since 2021.

Texas has now lost four games in a row. Even though the Rangers took two out of three from the Colorado Rockies last week, the offense continues to be spotty. They have scored one run in their last two games.

Houston (24-31) has won four straight games, dating back to the beginning of their road trip and a series with the Chicago Cubs on Friday. While the AL West race remains tight, the Astros are gaining on the field. A win on Tuesday would tie them for third place in the division with the Rangers.

Below is the lineup for the Rangers. You can keep up with live updates throughout the contest from the Inside the Rangers on SI staff.
