Lone Star Series style
The Lone Star Series is an annual Major League Baseball contest featuring Texas’ two major league franchises, the Texas Rangers of the American League and the Houston Astros of the National League. It is an outgrowth of the “natural rivalry” established by MLB as part of interleague play.
