Adolis García hit a two-run homer and Nathaniel Lowe had three RBIs in the Texas Rangers' 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros.
García's homered to make it 3-0 in the third and Lowe drove in two runs with a single in the fifth to extend the lead to 5-1.
Friday was the 192nd regular-season meeting between Baker and Bochy. The pair, who both managed the Giants, are the two winningest active managers in MLB history with Baker ranking ninth with 2,099 wins and Bochy at No. 11 with 2,011. Despite their long history of competition, the pair developed a close friendship off the field where they share everything from wine recommendations to the best fishing holes.
There were two outs in the third when Lowe walked. García then knocked his third homer of the season to left-center field to make it 3-0. It was initially ruled a double, but the play was reviewed and overturned.
