Astros give Texans (and Houston) ultimate “gift” as World Series resumes
Nov 1, 2022, 1:14 pm
With Game 3 of the World Series being postponed, the Astros and the Texans will now both be playing on Thursday night, which means both games won't be airing on Fox. The Texans game will now be appearing on Fox's sister station My 20 in Houston, and also available on Amazon. The Texans just played their worst game of the season against the Titans, and now the undefeated Eagles come to town to destroy the Texans in a prime time game.
Is this a blessing in disguise for the Texans, since practically nobody in Houston will watch the Texans get embarrassed by Philly? One could easily make that argument, and we did. Be sure to check out the hilarious video above as we rank which shows are likely to now out rate the Texans in their only prime time game this season.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
