The Astros manager was only in the dugout for a short stint during his team’s series finale against the Texas Rangers. That’s because Espada was ejected in the top of the third inning after arguing balls and strikes during an at-bat for third baseman Isaac Paredes.

Christian Walker hit a three-homer to cap a six-run seventh inning for the Houston Astros in their 6-3 win over Texas that ended the Rangers’ six-game winning streak.

Jack Leiter held Houston without a hit until Yainer Diaz homered in seventh. Isaac Paredes followed with a three-run homer for win.

It’s impressive how quick things can change in baseball, isn’t it? What was once a certified no-hitter watch quickly devolved into a bullpen meltdown. What originally looked like a four-game series win fizzled into a split due to blown opportunities.

Isaac Paredes hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off reliever Robert Garcia in the eighth inning after Texas rookie Jack Leiter lost a no-hit bid in the seventh, and the Houston Astros rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Rangers on Sunday.

Joc Pederson broke a tie with a two-run home run in the sixth inning, Wyatt Langford hit a solo shot in a two-run seventh and the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 5-1 on Saturday night.
