    Stan Norfleet and Chris Gordy of Next Up review the Houston Astros currently sitting at 1-2 in the Silver Boot Series against the Texas Rangers. Ronel Blanco started on the mound for the Astros during the 3-1 win Sunday. Combined with his no-hitter last Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays, Blanco took another no-hitter into the sixth inning before Adolis García recorded a single. Blanco's 14 2/3-inning hitless streak is the longest in the Expansion Era.

    The Rockets lost on the road to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. The Rockets were up 129-126 when Jabari Smith Jr. missed two free throws giving the Mavericks a chance to tie which they did with a Dante Exum three-pointer as time expired. The Rockets lost 147-136 in overtime and were officially eliminated from the postseason.

    Stan and Chris recap South Carolina defeating Iowa for the NCAA women's Division I National Championship, preview the men's championship with UConn against Purdue, react to defensive tackle prospect T'Vondre Sweat facing a DWI charge and more.
