Houston — The Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 2-0 Friday night as right-hander Spencer Arrighetti carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning before Texas rookie Justin Foscue’s one-out single ended it. Isaac Paredes hit a third-inning solo home run, and Braden Shewmake added an RBI single in the eighth to provide the offense. Houston’s victory left the all-time Silver Boot Series tied and extended the Astros’ recent streak of series wins; Arrighetti was credited with the win after a 102-pitch outing and limited the Rangers to one hit. The teams are scheduled to meet again Saturday with a 6:10 p.m. CT first pitch to continue the series.
