HOUSTON -- Ian Desmond keeps coming up with big hits for the Texas Rangers.Sunday was no different.Desmond hit a tiebreaking single in the 11th inning and the Rangers got past Houston 5-3, beating the Astros for the 11th time in 13 meetings this season.For a guy like Desmond, whos had some challenges here lately but had been so big for us all year long in those type of situations to come up with the big hit for us was a great day for him, Texas manager Jeff Banister said.Texas took two of three in the weekend series and extended its AL West lead to 7 1/2 games over the Astros.This is the type of game good teams need to win, Banister said. This is a group of guys that are going to continue fighting. Theyre engaged. We came out on the top of it today. Things worked out for us today.Houston went 2-5 on its and has lost eight of its last 10 games.Anytime I leave this podium after a loss I hate it, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. I dont care what teams on the other side, I dont care what division theyre in, what league theyre in and how the loss happened.Clearly games against the Rangers matter when theyre ahead of us, they matter when theyre behind us, theyre in our division. So Im not naive, I know that those games are going to be magnified. You get into August and were in a playoff race, these games get a little heightened awareness, he said.After Shin-Soo Choo led off the 11th with a double, Desmond followed with a single against Chris Devenski (0-4).Desmond is tied for the major league lead with Houstons Carlos Correa with seven go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning or later this season.I just want to make sure I feel good in those situations, and I have, Desmond said.Rougned Odor later hit an RBI double.We were 5-for-21 with runners in scoring position, Banister said. In those types of situations these guys are up there trying to put the best at-bat they can together. We got a little anxious in some of the at-bats and then hit some balls fairly well. We needed that big one and Desmond was able to come through.Matt Bush (5-2) pitched the 10th, then struck out George Springer with runners on the corners in the 11th.Texas starter Yu Darvish pitched seven shutout innings, striking out eight and giving up five hits.Darvish said through a translator the outing was the best he has felt since coming off the 15-day disabled list July 16.Alex Bregman hit an RBI double, and Jose Altuve followed with an RBI single off Jeremy Jeffress to cut the Rangers lead to 3-2 in the eighth.Tony Kemp tied it in the ninth with a single off Sam Dyson that scored pinch-runner Carlos Gomez, who slid around Jonathan Lucroys tag.Lucroy put the Rangers ahead with an RBI double in the fifth. Jurickson Profar hit a two-run double off Ken Giles to extend the lead to 3-0 in the eighth.Kemp had three hits after coming on as a pinch-hitter in the eighth.Joe Musgrove allowed one run on five hits in seven innings, striking out six in his first major league start. The right-hander threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings with eight strikeouts in relief in his debut Tuesday.TRAINERS ROOMRangers: OF Carlos Beltran was out of the lineup after leaving Saturdays game with a left quad contusion. He pinch-hit in the 10th and flied out to leave the bases loaded.Astros: OF Colby Rasmus was put on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a cyst in his right ear.Its been bothering him for a while, Hinch said.

INF Luis Valbuena (right hamstring strain) is progressing slowly and hasnt done any baseball activities, Hinch said.UP NEXTRangers: LHP Cole Hamels (12-3) will start the first of a two-game series in Colorado on Monday.

Patric Hornqvist Penguins Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. Vern Cotter says Scotland must become masters of their own destiny when they face Argentina this weekend.Scotland came within touching distance of a famous win over Australia at Murrayfield last weekend only to slip to a narrow 23-22 defeat.But Cotter was frustrated as his side contributed to their own downfall by welcoming the Wallabies forward in the closing stages.Despite having the opportunity to hold Michael Cheikas team at bay, Scotland succumbed late on to Bernard Foleys decisive kick.It was another painful lesson for a side who have made a habit of suffering defeats from winning positions in recent years. Cotter has spent the week since making clear to his players that the Pumas are just as capable of pouncing if they are also let loose, but believes the penny has dropped.He said: Nobody likes losing, but the honesty within the group first thing on Monday was a down-to-earth analysis of what did we actually contribute to that game. It was a very close-cut thing, only one point, but we were pretty tough on ourselves that Monday and the players were pretty tough on themselves.We dont want to contribute to the same extent against Argentina. Were looking at discipline, decision-making close to the line, not precipitating things, taking time, waiting for structure to be in place and then power up on them.I thought defensively we did well at the weekend and we want to improve our set-piece defence. Australia scored two tries from set-piece last weekend. It was the first hit-out in the autumn and there were things that we focused on.Now the players are determined to do better.dddddddddddd. We know Argentina are very dangerous with the ball, so wed like to keep it away from them at times for as long as we can.We are making sure there is clear understanding of what we want to achieve this week, trying to keep them away from the ball and hopefully were going to positively determine the outcome by doing that.Last weeks defeat hurt more than just Scottish pride.

' ' 'im out until the new year.The latters injury has opened the door for Edinburgh back-rower Magnus Bradbury to make his international debut at blindside, although there is no room for his South Africa-born club-mate Cornell Du Preez, a late call up earlier this week.Cotter - who has also recalled hooker Fraser Brown, lock Grant Gilchrist and wing Tommy Seymour to his starting line-up - admits the injuries are a frustration but believes Bradbury is ready to grasp his big opportunity.Magnus was named originally because hes been playing well for his club, he said. Hes impressed us in training and now with a couple of injuries, he gets a chance.Were playing a team that moves the ball pretty quickly. Magnus is athletic and well balanced between attack and defence, hes not a one-dimensional player. He can jump in the line-out and turnover ball he carries well. ' ' '
