For the Houston Astros, home may be where the heart is. But not the wins.
The Astros have been the best road team in Major League Baseball this past regular season and in the postseason. They continued that Wednesday night with an 8-5 win over Texas in Arlington to cut the Rangers’ lead in the American League Championship Series to 2-1.
Houston went to 54-30 on the road this season overall and improved to an amazing 7-1 at the Rangers’ Globe Life Field.

Olympic champion gymnast Mary Lou Retton suffered a “scary setback” earlier this week in her battle with a rare form of pneumonia, her daughter Shayla Kelley Schrepfer revealed Wednesday night on Instagram.
An initial report last week painted a grim picture for Retton, as she was said to be “fighting for her life” in the ICU at a Texas hospital. However, Retton made an improvement over the weekend, and things seemed to be heading in a positive direction.
But after a setback this week, the 55-year-old Retton remains in the ICU.
“We were so excited,” Schrepfer began her post.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell turned heads when he floated the idea of staging a Super Bowl in London, England. Here’s why that would be a bad idea.
The numbers are stark — among the worst since the 2000 season — and the reasons are plentiful, but Nate Tice explains why there may be hope for a rebound.

Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed the media on Wednesday ahead of Sunday’s game against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
Campbell spoke about the importance of containing Jackson defensively, but ended his response with a heartfelt statement to media member Bernie Smilovitz, whose wife recently passed away.
“He’s extremely dangerous as always. That’s not changing right now, so that focal point will always start with him, especially defensively,” Campbell said.
After a brief pause, Campbell looked once again at Smilovitz.
“My heart goes out to you, man. God bless you.
Kudos to the Las Vegas Aces for winning the WNBA championship Wednesday night in Brooklyn. The team won its second consecutive league title, and A’ja Wilson shined, winning Finals MVP.
Yet some fans were happy for Tom Brady following the Aces’ big win. Why is the retired NFL star in this conversation? Does he somehow have to be a topic in every sports discussion? This is basketball, not football.
However, the Aces’ success does affect Brady.

Penn State’s six-year pileup of pain at the hands of Ohio State began miserably enough, in 2017, when the Nittany Lions frittered away an 11-point lead in the final five minutes to lose by a point. That was bad, but it quickly got worse.
The fourth-and-5 handoff to nowhere that killed a potential game-winning drive in ‘18?

That was the White-Out that lives in infamy. That was the nadir.
