Astros’ Star Catch Shifts Division Race

Cam Smith just robbed Brandon Nimmo of a home run with a jaw-dropping leaping catch, setting the tone for a 5-1 Astros win over the Rangers — part of a dominant road trip that flipped the division standings. Houston’s pitching also threw a no-hitter, but Smith’s play against a rival? That’s the one fans will replay. Now 26-32, they’re just 2.5 games behind the Mariners, with Hunter Brown and Josh Hader nearing returns. A brutal nine-game homestand looms — against Brewers, Pirates, and A’s — but with momentum and reinforcements, the Astros are suddenly looking like a team ready to make noise.
