The Texas Rangers hit eight home runs in their 18-3 victory over their in-state rivals the Houston Astros. "Eight-homer games don't happen very often," said Dellucci, who went 3-for-4. "We got a fast start and they were just coming in bunches. Hopefully, we saved a few for tomorrow and down the road." Rod Barajas, Hank Blalock and Laynce Nix connected in the second and Richard Hidalgo and Kevin Mench also homered to help the Rangers top their previous best of seven, accomplished in 1986 and 2003. "We've done it in the past and we broke out today," Teixeira said. "It's good for our confidence to put a lot of runs on the board. We had some good at-bats today. We started hot and built from there. It was contagious."
