HOUSTON (AP) Elvis Andrus hit his first home run of the season, Cesar Ramos pitched six solid innings and the Texas Rangers edged the Houston Astros 2-1 on Saturday night.

The homer by Andrus, which landed in the left-field seats, came with two outs and a full count to put Texas up 1-0 in the second inning. Rougned Odor made it 2-0 with an RBI single in the third.

Ramos (1-2) yielded two hits and one run while fanning four in six innings for his first win this year in his third start and fifth appearance. Sam Dyson pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save and second in two games.

Marwin Gonzalez solo homer in the third was Houston's only run.

Houston starter Mike Fiers (3-2) allowed six hits and two runs in seven innings in the loss, which snapped his three-game winning streak.
