HOUSTON -- Rougned Odor put one leg up on a chair as he talked to a reporter, giving teammate Carlos Gomez the perfect pedestal to drape a replica WWE championship belt encrusted with dozens of plastic crystals across his knee. Evan Engram Womens Jersey .It was an appropriate gesture for the man who delivered the knockout blow to the Houston Astros in the 12th round on Monday night.Odor had three hits and three RBI, including a solo homer in the 12th inning that lifted the Texas Rangers to a 4-3 victory.I always like to play against the Astros, he said. I like to hit in this ballpark. I just like it. I feel really comfortable here.Odor launched his 31st homer over the short fence in right field off James Hoyt (1-1) to put Texas on top.Hes certainly hurt us a number of times over the last couple of years, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. Hes a good hitter. Hes a hitter that does damage. Certainly, against us, he comes up big at the worst times.Odor, who finished a triple shy of the cycle, has six home runs, six doubles and 19 RBI in 16 games against Houston this season.When he sees a mistake he puts a great swing on it, manager Jeff Banister said. I think he did that tonight in three different at-bats.The Rangers, who have the best record in the American League at 86-59, improved to 14-3 against AL West rival Houston this season.Keone Kela (5-1) allowed one hit in two scoreless innings for the win and Jake Diekman pitched a perfect 12th for his fourth save.Evan Gattis hit a solo homer off Sam Dyson with one out in the ninth to tie it at 3. The towering shot, which landed on the train tracks atop the left field wall, was the 26th homer for Gattis this season.Marwin Gonzalez singled after that, but the inning ended when Colby Rasmus struck out and Gonzalez was caught trying to steal second base.Sometimes the bounces dont go your way, Hinch said. Theres a lot of frustrating parts of this game, but none more so than the final score.Odor drove in one run with a ground-rule double in the Rangers two-run first inning. His RBI single in the third made it 3-1.Texas starter Martin Perez yielded three hits and two runs with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.Gonzalez had an RBI single for Houston in the second and Tony Kemps pinch-hit, ground-rule double got Houston within one in the seventh.Houston starter Doug Fister allowed six hits and three runs in five innings. Hes had a tough September, allowing 25 hits and 17 runs combined in three starts.Astros rookie Alex Bregman went 0 for 5 with three strikeouts to end a 10-game hitting streak and Carlos Correa was 0 for 3 with a pair of walks to snap his hitting streak of 13 games.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: LHP Dallas Keuchel, who hasnt pitched since Aug. 27 because of inflammation in his left shoulder, will be shut down until at least Wednesday. Keuchel said they will decide then what his next step will be. Keuchel has had a tough follow-up to a 2015 season where he won a career-high 20 games and was voted the AL Cy Young Winner. Houstons ace is 9-12 with a 4.55 ERA.ALL AL WESTMonday was the first of 19 straight games the Astros will play against teams in the AL West to end the season. They have seven games remaining against the Angels, six with the Mariners and three against the Athletics.WHAT A CATCHElvis Andrus robbed Houstons Max Stassi of a hit when he dived to grab a low liner for the first out of the 10th inning. Andrus sailed through the air to make the catch, hit the ground and rolled over before holding his glove up to display the ball.UP NEXTRangers: A.J. Griffin (7-4, 4.92) will start for Texas on Tuesday. Griffin looks to bounce back after giving up a career-high eight runs in four innings of an 8-3 loss to Seattle on Wednesday.Astros: Brad Peacock (0-0, 3.38) is scheduled to start his second game on Tuesday. He allowed five hits and one run in 3 2/3 innings of a 5-1 win against Cleveland in his first start this season on Tuesday. Davis Webb Giants Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Evan Engram Giants Jersey . In the response filed Wednesday to the complaint by 30-year-old Alexander Bradley, attorneys say the former University of Florida player is invoking his Fifth Amendment right that protects people from incriminating themselves. http://www.giantsapparelsshop.com/wayne-gallman-giants-jersey-c-65/ . A knee to the thigh might have stung him the most, but his sixth straight double-double made up for the brief burst of pain. MADISON, Wisc. -- In the middle of October, Wisconsins football season looked headed toward a subpar season with a 1-2 record in the Big Ten Conference after a stellar start.Sure, the Badgers lost those two conference games to No. 4 Michigan by seven points on the road and to No. 2 Ohio State in overtime in Madison, but projections for another strong season looked bleak with games against Iowa and Nebraska in consecutive weeks looming.And they had quarterback questions with freshman Alex Hornibrook taking over the starting job at Michigan.When we looked at our schedule, we knew there wasnt a game that we couldnt win, Hornibrook said. We felt we could win every one of them.Now the Badgers are knocking on the door of the Big Ten title game.Theyve won five straight games heading into Saturdays showdown against Minnesota on Senior Day at Camp Randall Stadium, are ranked No. 5 in the country and at 9-2 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten West, they have to win one more game to ensure a spot in the Big Ten title game on Dec. 3.Wisconsin can clinch the division crown Friday if Iowa beats Nebraska, and if Minnesota beats Wisconsin on Saturday, the Badgers would still win the division due to a four-way tie with Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa. The Badgers have beaten Minnesota 12 straight times.The end of the seasons feeling closer, with Senior Day coming up, UW running back Dare Ogunbowale said. I wouldnt say that anything is different, as in the postseason or anything like that. We know we have to beat Minnesota for all that stuff to (ring) true, so were going to make sure we go out and do that.The Badgers are one of three Big Ten teams, including Michigan and Ohio State, ranked in the top five. The Badgers are ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press poll. Take care of business, and the Badgers in playing in the conference title game in Indianapolis and have a shot at a berth in the college playoffs. Davis Webb Youth Jersey. I had the personal and our team had the goal of getting (to the Big Ten title game), Wisconsin linebacker Vince Biegel said. We still have one more game before that happens. We cannot overlook a talented Minnesota offense and team. Theyre hungry for a win against us. Its a trophy game. Its a border battle. A lot of storylines. A lot of things on the line in this game.Minnesota (8-3) could position itself for a better-than-expected bowl bid if the Golden Gophers win the border rivalry. Saturday will be the 126th meeting between the two programs, marking the most-played rivalry in the FBS.Minnesota has won five of its last six games.I know its always special in this game, Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst said. Ive been lucky to go the Minnesota/Wisconsin game with my dad, just me and him in the stands, and then when he was coaching. I got a chance to be a part of it as a player, and then as a coach here.Wisconsin hasnt thrived on offense, but it has been consistent for the most part.Hornibrook is a quiet but effective leader and quarterback. He has completed 100 of his 171 passes, but has thrown seven interceptions and eight touchdowns. He enters the Minnesota game looking to lead the Badgers into the Big Ten title game. He must keep his emotions under check during Senior Day, and not try and force the issue and stay away from turnovers.A big reason he should stay calm is Corey Clement, who has topped the 1,000-yard mark to raise his season total to 1,040 yards, becoming the 17th player in school history to hit the 1,000-yard mark in a season. His running has been key in Wisconsins five-game winning streak, and with the division title at state, look for him to have plenty of carries against Minnesota. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
