ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Rangers closest competitors in the AL West right now are the Houston Astros, and Texas hasnt let it be much of a competition.Adrian Beltre and Nomar Mazara each homered, Derek Holland pitched his third straight quality start since coming off the disabled list and the Rangers beat the Astros 12-4 on Saturday for their seventh straight victory.AL West-leading Texas is 13-2 against the second-place Astros this season and 37-19 against the division.After trailing 1-0, the Rangers got their major league-high 42nd come-from-behind win. Theyve won eight of nine and scored at least 10 runs in each of their past three games.Its just the consistency of being able to fill (the lineup) out and the type of hitters we have, manager Jeff Banister said.Holland (7-6) pitched six innings, allowing two runs, six hits and three walks.Evan Gattis had three hits for Houston, including a solo homer.Ian Desmond stole home as part of a double steal in the seventh inning.Beltre and Robinson Chirinos each had three hits. Chirinos was playing as a replacement for catcher Jonathan Lucroy, scratched because of flu-like symptoms.We had to replace a catcher today, Banister said, and he was about as big as anybody in the lineup.Mazara, Desmond, Mitch Moreland, Carlos Beltran and Rougned Odor each drove in two runs.Mazara hit his two-run homer in the fifth, when the Rangers chased starter Joe Musgrove. Musgrove (2-3) allowed five runs and eight hits over 4 1/3 innings.Thats a really good lineup with the power they have in the meat of their lineup, Musgrove said. Ive got to do a better job of getting the 7-8-9 hitters out.Right-hander Brady Rodgers made his big league debut for Houston in the eighth and allowed five runs while getting two outs.Houston led early after Teoscar Hernandez drove in a run with the last of three singles in the second inning.Half an inning later, Beltre hit his 26th homer into the visitors bullpen in left-center field, and then Texas went ahead 3-1 on Morelands two-out, two-run double in the fourth.Holland had two strikeouts, both by Jason Castro. The first ended the second inning with two runners on base.Holland has won his last two starts and is 5-1 at home this season. He is 5-2 with a 2.52 ERA in 10 starts with five or more days of rest.That is a team thats competing to get in the playoffs as well, Holland said. Its not like it was an easy task.

There is still a bit of rust there." Looking ahead to next weeks second leg in Sweden, he added: "The tie is probbably in the balance, but we are confident that we can go there and get a result.dddddddddddd" Salzburg also looked to have won after Alans 68th minute strike, only for the Turkish side to be awarded a spot-kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time -- converted by fellow Brazilian, Cristian.
