Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel allowed two runs on six hits in Houston's 6-4 win over the Rangers Sunday in 14 innings.
Keuchel, who went seven innings with three strikeouts, didn't run into trouble until the seventh inning. Keuchel walked Adam Rosales before allowing a Carlos Corporan double. Then, a walk to Delino DeShields left the bases loaded for Leonys Martin, who singled to center and brought two runners home.
Keuchel was able to get out fo the jam and limit the damage to just two runs.
"Yeah, because I felt like I had a chance to throw a complete game," Keuchel said to the Houston Chronicle. "And it's never a given and I didn't assume anything, but I didn't execute pitches like I did the first six innings and that's what happens. We played, what'd we play, 14 innings? You know, it could have all been avoided if I had attacked the zone there in the seventh."
He will look for another strong start Saturday against the Angels.
