Rockets Eliminated From Postseason, Astros Call Up Henley For Framber

The Matt Thomas Show

Matt Thomas and Ross Villarreal of The Matt Thomas Show recap the Houston Rockets losing on the road to the Dallas Mavericks. 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. The Rockets still have four games remaining in the season and still have a shot at finishing over .500. The Astros currently sit 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. Framber Valdez was expected to take the mound in the final game of the series Monday, but the Astros have called up right-handed pitcher Blair Henley to start today's game and make his major league debut.
