Jose Altuve produced his second multi-homer game in less than a week, while Hunter Brown delivered his American League-leading ninth quality start as the Houston Astros rolled to an 11-1 victory over the slumping Athletics on Tuesday.

Altuve homered in consecutive innings off Athletics starter JP Sears (4-5). His two-run blast to center field lifted the Astros to a 9-1 lead with one out in the fourth and chased Sears from the mound. Altuve ignited a three-run third inning with his leadoff homer to left for a five-run lead.

The Astros pounced on Sears in the bottom of the second, stringing together three consecutive two-out, extra-base hits. Chas McCormick and Mauricio Dubon stroked back-to-back RBI doubles before Jeremy Pena doubled the 2-0 lead with a two-run homer to left, his seventh.

Houston stretched that margin to 5-0 when Altuve socked his seventh home run. Four batters later, Cam Smith drilled a two-run double to left-center that scored Jake Meyers, who doubled with one out, and Yainer Diaz, who scored from first when his walk preceded the Smith double.

Two batters after Pena opened the fourth with a single, Altuve recorded his 13th career multi-homer game and first since Thursday, when he accomplished the feat against the Seattle Mariners. Altuve finished 4-for-4 with three RBIs and notched his 40th career four-hit game.

Sears allowed nine runs on 10 hits and one walk with one strikeout over 3 1/3 innings. It marked his third consecutive loss, with Sears allowing 19 earned runs in 12 1/3 innings during that stretch.

Brown (7-3) faced the minimum through three innings, including striking out the side in the second. He fell behind Lawrence Butler leading off the fourth and challenged him with a fastball that Butler belted 418 feet to center field for his eighth homer. Brown rebounded by retiring the next three batters and then facing the minimum in the fifth. When the Athletics loaded the bases with one out in the sixth, Brown induced Brent Rooker to ground into a double play.

Brown allowed one run on six hits with eight strikeouts over six innings.

Christian Walker socked a two-run homer, his seventh, in the sixth. The Astros recorded 13 hits, their fifth consecutive game with 11-plus hits for their longest such streak since 2019.

What a healthy Troy Fautanu and leaner Broderick Jones mean for the Steelers’ O-line

PITTSBURGH — On a dreary Wednesday in Western Pennsylvania, as the rain poured relentlessly, Pittsburgh Steelers right tackle Troy Fautanu beamed with excitement, knowing that his return to the playing field signaled the end of his personal storm.“Man, I’ve been looking forward to this for a really long time,” Fautanu said after the Steelers’ second day of organized team activities. “It’s felt like a million years since I’ve been back out here.”AdvertisementWhen the Steelers drafted Fautanu in the first round in 2024, the hope was that he could help transform a weakness on the offensive line into a strength. He impressed during training camp to put himself in position for early playing time. But during the preseason, he sustained a minor injury to his left knee that delayed his debut until Week 2 in Denver, where he played 55 offensive […]

The scale of Man City’s rebuild uncovered: Will Pep get his wish?

First it was Rodri's injury. Then Kevin De Bruyne's decline. Then Phil Foden's form. At one point it was something about Erling Haaland. And Pep Guardiola did not escape criticism either.In truth, Manchester City's problems have been numerous this season and no one reason can explain or excuse a campaign of relative failure. No trophies. No titles. No post-season celebrations where Pep's on confetti cannon duty, Haaland and Ederson take charge of the champagne soaking, and Kyle Walker turns MC. Scrapping for Champions League football was as good as it got. Where do you even start with that?One positive will be that the scale of the rebuild has been extensively revealed. Guardiola might profess to only want a small group, and there are obvious merits to having a highly-motivated, compact squad - but only if it is filled with genuine […]

Fantasy Football 2025: TE David Njoku player profile

David Njoku has been a consistent fantasy starter: Njoku has finished among the top eight fantasy tight ends in each of the last three seasons, and he has a chance to make it four straight this season. The Cleveland Browns changing offense: While the Browns didn’t give Njoku much more competition for targets, they added running backs to make them more run-heavy, and the quality of the offense might not lead to many touchdowns for Njoku.

Vážně je to pravda? nemohl uvěřit 167. tenista světa po senzačním skalpu finalisty French Open

Tsitsipas byl v duelu s kvalifikantem jasným favoritem.

Podobnost mezi oběma zápasy pokračovala i ve druhém dějství, jež došlo do dramatické koncovky. Tu ovládl Tsitsipas a srovnal. Jenže místo očekávané dominance řeckého tenisty publikum na dvorci Suzanne Lenglenové užasle sledovalo nebojácný výkon římského rodáka. Gigante ve třetí sadě dominoval a rychlý brejk získal i ve čtvrté. Tsitsipas se sice v samém závěru nadechl k náporu, ale žádný z osmi brejkbolů nevyužil, a tak se v Paříži urodila gigantická senzace.Foto: Aurelien Morissard, ČTK/APItalský tenista Matteo Gigante způsobil na French Open senzaci.Gigante po utkání pobavil diváky na druhém největším kurtu v areálu Rolanda Garrose. „Vážně […]
