TEXANS FILM BREAKDOWN
NFL analyst Brian Baldinger discusses Houston Texans guard Kenyon Green's impressive performance against the 49ers last week, and gushes about Green being everything a team would want at the guard position.
.@HoustonTexans @K_Green_01 is exactly what every team wants at OG; just an earth mover. It’s worth the price of admission to see Big K uprooting Oak Trees. @BigDuke50 #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/7h7Ub9JaQ7

The timing of this post has to excite fans, as Green missed a good portion of the preseason dealing with a concussion. With Green back in the fold and looking impressive, it appears the Texans nailed their pick at No. 15 overall, and the offensive line should be vastly improved with a healthy Laremy Tunsil and Kenyon Green holding down the left side of the line.
The Texans will put that to the test on Sept 11 when they face the Colts live from NRG to start the season.
Christian Walker homered among his three hits and had a season-high four RBIs to lead the Houston Astros over the Chicago White Sox 10-2 on Wednesday night.

Jose Altuve added two hits to give him 2,300 in his career, joining Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (2,342) as the only active players with at least 2,300.
The GOAT with another milestone.

Altuve got things going with an RBI double in the first. There were two outs in the inning when Walker homered to left field off Sean Burke (3-7) to make it 3-0.
Houston starter Ryan Gusto (4-3) allowed seven hits and two runs with a season-best seven strikeouts in a season-high six innings.
Josh Rojas had two hits for the White Sox, who fell to 7-27 on the road.
Altuve singled with two outs in the third before Yainer Diaz walked. Walker then smacked a line drive to center field for a double to score them both and push the lead to 5-0.
There was one out in the fourth when Cam Smith hit a ground-rule double. With two outs, Jeremy Peña doubled on a ball that bounced off the wall in left field to make it 6-0. Isaac Paredes followed with another RBI double to chase Burke, who yielded eight hits and seven runs — both career highs — in 3 2/3 innings.
Rojas singled in the fifth and moved to third on a ground-rule double by Vinny Capra. Rojas scored on a groundout by Mike Tauchman to cut it to 7-1. Miguel Vargas hit an RBI single to make it 7-2.
Paredes had three hits and two RBIs to help the Astros snap a two-game skid.
Walker’s home run that put Houston up 3-0 early.
