Fox's nationally-televised broadcast of the Houston Astros' 5-4 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday served as one such reminder, as the mics briefly gave fans a fly-on-the-wall experience for an exchange between home-plate umpire Phil Cuzzi and the Astros dugout.

Zack Short singled home Cam Smith from second base with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning to send the Astros to a dramatic 5-4 walk-off win over the Rangers on Saturday night at Daikin Park, snapping a season-long four-game losing streak.

After Josh Hader blew his first save of the season, the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers in 11 to end four-game losing streak.

Prior to his injury, Javier was one of the Astros’ top-flight arms at the top of the rotation. In his career, Javier is 33-18 with a 3.59 ERA. He was instrumental to the team’s 2022 World Series championship run, pitching to an 11-9 record with a 2.54 ERA in the regular season, and a 2-0 record with a 0.71 ERA in three postseason starts.

Zack Short hit a walk-off RBI single in the 11th inning after Christian Walker tied it with a sacrifice fly and the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 5-4.

Saturday was the 11th time Espada removed Altuve from left field in the ninth inning with a lead. "You have to rely on everybody."

When searching for who that player might be, The Sporting Tribune recently predicted them to select Wehiwa Aloy, a shortstop out of the University of Arkansas. Aloy, arguably the top player in college baseball last season, would be an excellent addition after winning the Golden Spikes Award.

The Miami Marlins may look to move numerous pieces before the MLB trade deadline, and the Houston Astros could comprise a perfect trade partner for them. Jim Bo
