Astros starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel allowed one run on five hits, striking out eight while walking one, for a no-decision Monday against the Rangers.
Keuchel's ERA actually went up slightly with the strong performance, going from 0.73 to 0.80.
The left hander carried a shutout into the eighth inning before giving up an RBI single to Jake Smolinski.
On the season, Keuchel has given up four runs in 45 innings with 30 strike outs and 13 walks.
Keuchel's next start is scheduled for Saturday in Los Angeles against the Angels.
