ARLINGTON, Texas — Yordan Alvarez and Victor Caratini homered as Houston rallied from an early deficit to beat the Texas Rangers 10-5 after Astros scheduled starter Framber Valdez was scratched because of elbow soreness. The Astros earned a split in the four-game series. Seth Martinez worked 3 2/3 scoreless innings in relief after Blair Henley retired only one of the nine batters he faced when making his major league debut starting in place of Valdez. The Astros led 2-0 before Henley threw his first pitch, but the 26-year-old from nearby Fort Worth allowed five runs before getting an out on his 34th pitch.
