Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning, and the Houston Astros continued their late-August surge with a 6-2 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday night.
Mitch Garver homered to snap a scoreless tie in the seventh inning, and Texas finally emerged from an untimely slump. That was two close ballgames in a row, with a win over the New York Mets 2-1 on Tuesday night.
NFL
Trey Lance continues to get acquainted with his new surroundings, but he is glad to be with the Dallas Cowboys after a trade from the San Francisco 49ers last Saturday. The Niners selected him with the third overall pick in 2021, giving up three first-round choices to the Dolphins.
NBA
The Mavericks waived center JaVale McGee on Tuesday, about a year after signing him as a free agent to a three-year contract with plans for him to start. McGee started seven of the first nine games but fell out of the rotation about a month into the season and played sparingly the rest of the way. McGee averaged 4.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 42 games last season. The 35-year-old has career averages of 7.8 points and 5.2 rebounds.
