ARLINGTON, Texas -- George Springer didn't need a replay to know he saved a home run with a leaping catch in the 10th inning. The video just let the Houston right fielder know how far over the fence the fly ball was.Hank Conger followed Springer's game-saving catch with a two-run home run in the 14th inning, and the Astros beat the Texas Rangers 6-4 Sunday."I've seen it, so I know it was gone," Springer said of the two-out drive by Leonys Martin, which came after the Rangers wiped out a 4-0 deficit. "It was over my head for sure. It was a home run, but at the time I didn't know how far over."Texas teammates Prince Fielder and Adrian Beltre simply stared into right field from the edge of the dugout as Springer ran in celebrating the grab.The Rangers stranded 15 runners, included the bases loaded three times, and couldn't finish off the rally despite seven walks and four hit batters by Houston pitching. But there was a simple reason in the mind of Fielder."If somebody doesn't catch a game-winning grand slam," he said with a smile.Houston left-hander Tony Sipp, who benefited from the flashy catch, was equally stunned."I was trying to put on my best face for TV on a walkoff," Sipp said. "I thought it was a home run. One catch turns everything."Conger entered in the 12th inning and homered after Evan Gattis reached base for the first time this season -- on a walk in his 21st plate appearance of the year.Robbie Grossman ran for Gattis, but it didn't matter when Conger pulled a pitch from Jason Verrett (0-1) into the second row of seats in right field.Will Harris (1-0) retired six straight batters. He struck out the side in the 12th, his 19th consecutive scoreless outing dating to August.Samuel Deduno loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the 14th but got his first big league save when Rougned Odor lined out to -- you guessed it -- Springer in right.Deduno got two quick outs before allowing Fielder's third single, a walk and Houston's fourth hit batter -- and the second to Mitch Moreland. Plate umpire Laz Diaz ruled Moreland wasn't hit, but the call was overturned by video review."Couldn't get that one to kind of push us over the top," Moreland said. "Great game played by both, I think."Martin had a two-run single in the seventh to stop an 0-for-18 skid and end Dallas Keuchel's season-opening scoreless streak at 13 2/3 innings.After Kuechel finally faltered, the left-hander's bullpen let him down in the eighth. Joe Thatcher and Chad Qualls combined for two hit batters and two walks, allowing the Rangers to pull even.Odor's walk against Qualls forced home the first run in the eighth, and Texas made it 4-all on a sacrifice fly by Carlos Corporan, who also had two hits in his first game against his former team.
