HOUSTON -- Rougned Odor put one leg up on a chair as he talked to a reporter, giving teammate Carlos Gomez the perfect pedestal to drape a replica WWE championship belt encrusted with dozens of plastic crystals across his knee.It was an appropriate gesture for the man who delivered the knockout blow to the Houston Astros in the 12th round on Monday night.Odor had three hits and three RBI, including a solo homer in the 12th inning that lifted the Texas Rangers to a 4-3 victory.I always like to play against the Astros, he said.

Hinch said. Hes a good hitter. Hes a hitter that does damage. Certainly, against us, he comes up big at the worst times.Odor, who finished a triple shy of the cycle, has six home runs, six doubles and 19 RBI in 16 games against Houston this season.When he sees a mistake he puts a great swing on it, manager Jeff Banister said. I think he did that tonight in three different at-bats.The Rangers, who have the best record in the American League at 86-59, improved to 14-3 against AL West rival Houston this season.Keone Kela (5-1) allowed one hit in two scoreless innings for the win and Jake Diekman pitched a perfect 12th for his fourth save.Evan Gattis hit a solo homer off Sam Dyson with one out in the ninth to tie it at 3. The towering shot, which landed on the train tracks atop the left field wall, was the 26th homer for Gattis this season.Marwin Gonzalez singled after that, but the inning ended when Colby Rasmus struck out and Gonzalez was caught trying to steal second base.Sometimes the bounces dont go your way, Hinch said. Theres a lot of frustrating parts of this game, but none more so than the final score.Odor drove in one run with a ground-rule double in the Rangers two-run first inning. His RBI single in the third made it 3-1.Texas starter Martin Perez yielded three hits and two runs with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.Gonzalez had an RBI single for Houston in the second and Tony Kemps pinch-hit, ground-rule double got Houston within one in the seventh.Houston starter Doug Fister allowed six hits and three runs in five innings.

They have seven games remaining against the Angels, six with the Mariners and three against the Athletics.WHAT A CATCHElvis Andrus robbed Houstons Max Stassi of a hit when he dived to grab a low liner for the first out of the 10th inning.
