Rangers Cruise Past Astros

Doug Fister had a solid debut for the Rangers as they cruised past the Astros 5-1 in Arlington.  Fister tossed five innings of one-run ball against  his former club to pick up the win.  Nomar Mazara put Texas in front  with a solo-homer in the second inning and the Rangers tacked on two  runs in the fourth and seventh to put the game away.  Texas evened the  season-opening series at one-game apiece.  Dallas Keuchel surrendered three runs over six innings of work to take the loss for the  Stros.  Max Stassi drove in the lone Houston run with a fifth inning  double.  The Astros managed just five hits as a team in defeat.
