ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter has not allowed a hit through six innings Sunday against the Houston Astros. The 25-year-old rookie walked two, the first after a borderline 2-2 fastball to Christian Walker at the bottom of the strike zone in the first inning was called a ball by plate umpire Nick Mahrley.

The story: The Rangers bullpen — which had largely been a non-issue to begin the season — cost the team a chance at a win for the second time this series.

Isaac Paredes hit a three-run homer off reliever Robert Garcia in the eighth inning after rookie Jack Leiter lost a no-hit bid in the seventh, and the Houston Astros rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday,
