What time is the Astros game today? | Start time, TV channel, live streams, and more

The postseason Houston Astros are in full flow against the Texas Rangers as they leveled their American Championship League Series 2-2. They had lost both their home games but won back-to-back road games, including a statement 10-3 win against the Rangers on Thursday at Globe Life Field.

The Astros batting unit again came up hot and scored 10 runs off 11 hits, thanks to home runs from Jose Abreu and Chase McCormick. Apart from right-hander Jose Urquidy who gave up three earned runs, the rest of Houston's bullpen was on top of their game and didn't give up a run, thwarting the Rangers' comeback bid.

Now that they have got the hold of the Rangers offense, they would like to press their foot and take a lead in the series.
