"That's my first place Rangers!!!!," another comment read .
The Rangers avoided a complete collapse in the game, thanks to Nimmo, who did an Astros fan a solid back in May during another Rangers win . Texas built a 3-0 lead through the first two innings and did not allow the Astros to score until the fourth inning. Houston grabbed the lead in the eighth inning with a Cam Smith home run before Kyle Higashioka tied it all up at 5-5 with a solo homer in the eighth inning.
It was a big individual overall for Nimmo, who finished the contest 3-for-5 with two RBIs.
