Rangers outlast AL West-leading Astros 4-3 in 12 innings to move closer to playoff spot
Harris, a rookie called up from the minors earlier in the day when Adolis García went on the 10-day injured list, grounded a ball past first base and down the right-field line. Cody Freeman, the automatic runner, scored from second base.
The Rangers (73-69) won for the 11th time in 15 games to move within four of Houston with 20 games left in the regular season — five of those head-to-head matchups. Texas is a half-game back of division-rival Seattle (73-68) for the final American League wild-card spot after the Mariners lost 4-1 at Atlanta.
Robert Garcia (3-7), the fifth Rangers pitcher, retired all three batters he faced in the 12th. Lance McCullers Jr. (2-5), the sixth Houston reliever, walked Wyatt Langford to open the bottom half.
Harris entered in the 10th as the automatic runner in place of Jake Burger, whose two-run homer, a 439-foot drive, put the Rangers up 3-1 in the third.
Carlos Correa went the opposite way for his two-out homer in the eighth off the foul pole in right field. It came right after Jose Altuve doubled to snap an 0-for-14 slide and tied the game 3-3.
