In a remarkable turnaround, the Texas Rangers scored eight runs in the first inning against the Houston Astros on Tuesday night, just one day after being no-hit by Houston pitchers. Joc Pederson's three-run homer capped off the explosive inning, marking the Rangers as the second team in Major League Baseball (MLB) history to achieve this feat after being no-hit, following the 1905 Chicago White Sox. The eight runs matched the highest first-inning total this season, previously set by the Toronto Blue Jays. The Rangers' offensive surge began with a single from Brandon Nimmo, followed by a two-run single from Jake Burger and a triple from Evan Carter. The inning was a significant rebound for the Rangers, who had entered the game on a four-game losing streak, while the Astros were riding a four-game winning streak. This performance also marked the Rangers' first eight-run first inning since April 21, 2012, and their highest run total in an inning this season.
