HOUSTON -- The Texas Rangers talked before their game Saturday about how they didnt need new right fielder Alex Rios to be their saviour as he takes over for suspended slugger Nelson Cruz. Rios ended saving his new team anyway in his debut. Rios tied the game with an RBI triple in the eighth inning and scored the go-ahead run to help the Rangers to a 5-4 comeback victory over the Houston Astros. "I came here to try to contribute in any way possible and take advantage of everything that Im given," said Rios, who fills the hole left when Cruz was suspended for 50 games in the Biogenesis investigation. "Tonight was a good game. We came up with some big hits." One of the biggest was a two-run homer by Elvis Andrus as the Rangers extended their winning streak to a season-high six games. Rios, who was acquired from the Chicago White Sox on Friday, tripled off reliever Lucas Harrell (5-13) in the eighth inning to tie it after a double by A.J. Pierzynski. Rios then slid feet first into home on a ball hit by Mitch Moreland, scoring when catcher Jason Castro dropped the ball in the collision for an error to put Texas up 5-4. "We had a contact play on and he ran down the line like a train," manager Ron Washington said. "Castro caught that ball and when he came around he knocked it out of his glove and that was the winning run. He can do some things out there on the ball field and thats all we want him to do, is just play the game the way he can play." The Rangers trailed by two in the seventh before the Astros bullpen failed them again, with Kevin Chapman allowing Andrus first home run this season to tie it at 3. The Astros regained the lead when Brandon Barnes scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of that inning. Pierzynski hit a solo home run in the sixth inning. Texas starter Derek Holland allowed six hits and three runs in six innings. Jason Frasor (3-2) allowed one run in the seventh for the win and Joe Nathan threw a scoreless ninth for his 34th save. Chris Carter had two hits, including his 20th homer, and Castro added a pair of hits to extend his hitting streak to 10 games. Carter is the first Astros player to hit 20 homers since 2010, when both Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence reached the mark. It was the first multihit game since July 3 for Carter, who has been in a monthlong slump. Jurickson Profar reached on an error by Jake Elmore to start the seventh inning. Chapman retired the next two batters before Andrus sent an 82 mph slider into the Crawford Boxes in left field and flipped his bat as he left the plate. "I always say if a guy hits 30 or 40, it doesnt look good," Andrus said of the bat flip. "I dont really hit too many. I have to enjoy it because I dont know when Ill hit my next one." Andrus was greeted by his enthusiastic teammates who jumped up and down, patted his head and gave him high-fives as he entered the dugout. The shot ended a 557 at-bat homerless streak for Andrus. He shook off a tough night where he struck out on his first three at-bats with his first homer since Sept. 4. Houston manager Bo Porter was more upset with the error by Elmore than the homer Chapman gave up to Andrus. "When you give a team extra outs, especially a team that has a good offensive team like the Texas Rangers, you put yourself at more risk to give up runs," Porter said. Barnes was at third in the seventh inning when a pitch by Frasor bounced in the dirt, off Pierzynskis arm and toward the Rangers dugout, allowing Barnes to easily trot home to make it 4-3. Houston took a 1-0 lead on an RBI double by Jose Altuve in the third inning. Carters no-doubter, which landed on the train tracks atop left field, pushed Houstons lead to 2-0 in the fourth inning. Leonys Martin walked to start the fifth before Andrus struck out for the third time. He had a few angry words with home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi before Cuzzi finally lifted his mask and told Andrus to get off the field. Pierzynski launched his homer into the second deck in right field with one out in the sixth inning to get Texas within 2-1. Houston got the run back in the bottom of that inning when Matt Dominguez hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded to make it 3-1. Starter Brad Peacock yielded three hits and a run in six innings for the Astros.

Just because of his knowledge and him being here so long, plus his experience on the field and his experience playing with me.Forte -- the second-most productive running back in franchise history -- signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the New York Jets in free agency.In somewhat of a surprise move, the Bears made no effort to keep Forte, 30, who spent eight seasons in Chicago, rushing for 8,602 yards and scoring 64 total touchdowns.As a team captain, he led the Bears in rushing last season with 898 yards and caught 44 passes for 389 yards while scoring seven total touchdowns. He ranks second, behind only Hall of Famer Walter Payton, on the Bears all-time lists for rushing yards, yards from scrimmage (12,718), receptions (487) and 100-yard rushing games (24). Hes third in total touchdowns and sixth in receiving yards (4,116).Most of the time Id tell him something or just look at him and hed know exactly what I was thinking, Cutler said. You cant replace him, or you cant replace him in a year anyway.Fortes departure leaves Chicago dependent upon a young group of tailbacks --?Jeremy Langford, Jacquizz Rodgers, KaDeem Carey and 2016 fifth-round pick Jordan Howard?-- to fill the void.Langfford tallied 816 all-purpose yards as a rookie, but Chicago is expected to push him in the preseason.dddddddddddd Rodgers, Carey and Howard all received significant reps in the Bears offseason program.Chicagos ability to run the football is critical for Cutler, who dramatically reduced his amount of turnovers last year in Adam Gases balanced offense. But Gase left for Miami in January, prompting head coach John Fox to promote former quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains to offensive coordinator. Loggains is Cutlers sixth different playcaller since 2009.I think a lot of it [reducing turnovers] was the system and the way Adam called plays and manipulated the game in that regard, Cutler said. He definitely took care of quarterbacks and receivers and offensive linemen, and just the way he called games.Dowell has a lot of that same thought process in his mind. Hes going to try as hard as he can not to put us in bad positions. A lot of that is going to help my game as well.Fox feels confident he made the right choice pairing Cutler and Loggains.It was an easy decision for us with Dowell because he had a great relationship with the quarterback, and most offenses work through the quarterback, Fox said. Hes been a coordinator before. Hes very bright. I think Im pretty much 100 percent sure hes going to do just fine. ' ' '
