ARLINGTON -- On most nights, Astros starter Hunter Brown would be thrilled with the kind of performance he turned in Thursday. He threw a career-high eight innings, allowing one run while striking out eight batters and flashing the kind of dominating stuff that makes him one of the best young arms in baseball.

The only run he allowed came on a sixth-inning home run to Jake Burger, which turned out to be all the streaking Rangers needed with 36-year-old Jacob deGrom outdueling the 26-year-old Brown. deGrom threw eight scoreless innings to lead Texas to its sixth win in a row, 1-0, over the Astros in the Silver Boot Series opener at Globe Life Field.
