Tropeano, Astros lose 4-3 to Rangers

The right-hander would like to have one pitch back from his third major league start, a 4-3 loss to the Texas Rangers. Tropeano (1-2) gave up a bases-loaded triple to Rougned Odor with two outs in the third inning Monday night, and the Rangers never trailed. Tropeano still pitched into the seventh, when he hit Jake Smolinski with a pitch to start the inning and was chased when 31-year-old Guilder Rodriguez got his first major league RBI. Rodriguez, who had played 13 seasons and 1,095 games in the minors before getting called up earlier this month, had his first two major league hits. Jose Altuve then had an RBI double, his major league-best 221st hit, and Chris Carter hit a sacrifice fly to deep right. Marisnick also turned in an incredible catch in right, reaching up and making a running grab to rob Adrian Beltre of extra bases in the eighth inning. The second game of a three-game series between the bottom two teams in the AL West, with left-hander Brett Oberholtzer (5-12) going for the Astros against Texas rookie right-hander Nick Martinez (4-11), who has a 2.74 ERA over his last four starts.
