Diehard fans of Kate Upton will most certainly want to catch her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Not only does she participate in a hilarious, '80s-style aerobics dance challenge with Fallon (replete with Jazzercise moves and outfits), but she notes that she nearly missed her wedding to Houston Astros superstar pitcher Justin Verlander.
The revelation comes after Fallon introduces a video gag challenge in which Verlander manages to work in a reference to Fallon's 2005 baseball-themed romantic comedy, Fever Pitch, during a red carpet interview in which he's asked the secret to netting a supermodel wife. "Man, there's no secret," Verlander tells the interviewer. Then, "I recently watched a movie, Fever Pitch. It still holds up."
Challenge unlocked. After the clip, Upton admits that the movie does, indeed, hold up. "Honestly, it still does really hold up," says Upton, noting that she relates to Fallon's movie love interest, Drew Barrymore, who is bound by Fallon's character's insane love for the Boston Red Sox.

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.
