Astros Fight Back After Rough Pitching Start, Cougars Returning Next Season

Stan Norfleet and Chris Gordy of Next Up recap the Houston Astros splitting the Silver Boot Series with the Texas Rangers following a 10-5 victory Monday. Framber Valdez was expected to start but was scratched hours before first pitch due to soreness in his throwing elbow. The Astros called up prospect Blair Henley to make his major league debut; however, Henley had an unfortunate showing, facing nine batters and allowing five earned runs in just a third of an inning. Despite a bad start, the bullpen stepped-up and allowed no additional scores. The Astros will travel to Kansas City to face the Royals in a three-game series before returning home to host the Rangers.

Stan and Chris react to guard L.J. Cryer and forward J'Wan Roberts announcing their return to Cougars men's basketball for next season, discuss UConn winning the NCAA Division I men's basketball championship, debate MLB changes that contribute to increased injuries and more.
