| There's nothing like a "Happy Flight" in baseball. That's the phrase for a trip after a team wins the last game of a series and is traveling the next day. The Astros were feeling pretty good after beating the Angels on Wednesday afternoon. It was the second strong start in a row for Crisitan Javier and came just a day after powerful performance from Framber Valdez. Up next are the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Given Dusty Baker's rundown of various ailments to Michael Brantley, Chas McCormick, José Abreu and Mauricio Dubón, a day of rest will be welcome. The Texans will find out their schedule on Thursday. How many will be in prime time? Hard to say, but we have a few suggestions. It might not be a large number, if Instagram followers have any thing to say about. Houston ranks low on the list of social media influencers. But on the field, the Texans are giving a contract extension to offensive guard Shaq Mason. That locks up another key part of offensive line for next three years. For the Rockets, so much depends on where they land in the lottery. Our countdown of the top prospects continues with Alabama's Brandon Miller. And in soccer, the Dynamo beat Sporting KC to advance in the U.S. Open Cup tournament. Stat of the day: 400. Kenley Jansen, now pitching for the Red Sox, picked up his 400th save. He is one of seven to reach that figure since saves became an official stat in 1969. |
