There were three games in the Astros-Mariners series, and who would have thought the Astros would win the game that Felix Hernandez was starting? A night after scoring eight runs and losing, the Astros put up a seven-spot only to lose again. Collin McHugh allowed five earned runs in just four innings and Jerome Williams allowed another two runs. The Astros got home runs from Alex Presley and Jonathan Villar, while Chris Carter and Marc Krauss drove in two runs each in the losing effort. Earlier this season they couldn’t score any runs and only allowed a few a game, now it’s the complete opposite. Check out the rest of the links for more in Houston sports.

"“I’ve looked at my career five years down the road and said ‘Why not me?'” McHugh said. “Why couldn’t I get to stick with someone and put down some roots? It’s refreshing to see someone like Russell Wilson get a chance and do something with it. I’ve had so much encouragement from my friends, my family, from the three organizations that gave me a chance. You just hope it breaks [right] eventually.”"

Houston Rockets

"After quickly wiping away memories of a season-gone-wrong in Los Angeles the year before, Howard made the Bayou City his home, his teammates his family.“This place is right for me,” Howard said before training camp. “It feels right.”It was clear that Howard meant business from Day 1. He was often the first one in the gym and the last to leave. He frequently worked with Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon. He worked with his young teammates, sharing his experiences from nine seasons in the NBA."

Houston Texans

"Lord knows, the Texans need some Johnny Football. The NFL is a passing league now, which is a reason Bill O’Brien is the new coach, and Manziel can sure sling it. He’s the most exciting quarterback in the draft, a rock star with the added value of making Bob McNair’s easy-to-ignore franchise matter on the national scene like it never has."
