Lone Star Series continues as the Rangers look to bounce back against the Astros

Major League Baseball’s Rivalry Weekend continues on Saturday night as the Texas Rangers take on the Houston Astros in the second game of their three-game weekend set. The Astros posted their second-straight Friday shutouts in last night’s 2-0 win and today turn to right-hander Kai-Wei Teng (1-3, 3.12 ERA) in his third start of 2026 after giving up three earned runs in a loss at Cincinnati on Sunday. The Rangers will counter with veteran Jacob deGrom (3-2, 2.62 ERA) in search of his second straight win after a masterful 10-strikeout performance against the Cubs on Sunday.

Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez leads Houston in virtually every offensive category, ranking in the top 10 in MLB in home runs and batting average, and comes into Saturday with six hits in his last five games. Alvarez, the 2019 AL Rookie of the Year, is a three-time All-Star who helped lead the Astros to a World Series title in 2022, where he took home the Silver Slugger Award, hitting .306 with a career-high 37 home runs.

Hitting a team-best .316 this season, Rangers third baseman Josh Jung has posted six multi-hit games already in May and is on pace for his third career 100-hit season. Jung, a first-round pick by Texas in 2019, was an All-Star in 2023 and helped lead the Rangers to a World Series title that season.
