Game Preview
The Texas Rangers returned to Houston’s Minute Maid Park on Friday for the first time since they claimed Games 6 and 7 of the 2023 American League Championship Series. They followed that by capturing their first World Series title in franchise history.
The result Friday in the opener of a three-game weekend series was familiar for Texas, which bashed its way to a 12-8 victory over the Astros. The Rangers have won three of five games against Houston this season, with the partisan crowd eager to greet the Astros’ rivals rudely.
The gathering of 39,842 especially was vocal when Rangers right fielder Adolis Garcia came to bat. Garcia was named ALCS MVP after recording five home runs and 15 RBIs. He picked up Friday where he left off by finishing 2-for-3 with two runs, two RBIs and a pair of walks to keep Astros’ fans seething.
