Making his debut back, Hunter went on to pitch 5 innings, giving only 3 hits with 1 run allowed and a total of 7 strikeouts in his first outing since late March against the Red Sox. Down 2-1 but rallying late in the 8th, the Astros salvage a 4-2 victory with hopes of securing the series win this afternoon against Casey Mize on the bump for the Tigers. Revisiting their time in Kansas City, followed by Hunter's return from the IL, Astros GM Dana Brown highlights a few positives from some of the Astros' recent outings and the direction he believes Houston is headed in the coming weeks.  ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>777</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/7f4ab28c033b3ce95b75f9e91d46796d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Astros Continue to Struggle: Tigers Take Game 1 9-3, Hunter Brown's Return!, Sorsby Declares for NFL Supplemental Draft, Josh Pate Joins 790</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/astros-continue-to-struggle-tigers-take-game-1-9-3-hunter-brown-s-return-sorsby-declares-for-nfl-supplemental-draft-josh-pate-joins-790--72550958</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/72550958</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jun 2026 15:36:15 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72550958/md_full_pod_6_16.mp3" length="147133078" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/a6ceb346-2472-46e3-82ee-430d54021bbd/a6ceb346-2472-46e3-82ee-430d54021bbd.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/a6ceb346-2472-46e3-82ee-430d54021bbd/a6ceb346-2472-46e3-82ee-430d54021bbd.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/a6ceb346-2472-46e3-82ee-430d54021bbd/a6ceb346-2472-46e3-82ee-430d54021bbd.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>SportsTalk 790 (KBME-AM)</itunes:author><itunes:duration>9196</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/7f4ab28c033b3ce95b75f9e91d46796d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Josh Pate: What Sorsby Leaving Means for Texas Tech</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/josh-pate-what-sorsby-leaving-means-for-texas-tech--72550040</link><description><![CDATA[Switching gears and turning to college for a brief moment, quite some controversy has arisen this offseason surrounding Texas Tech's QB, Brendan Sorsby, receiving an injunction to further his tenure at the University’s football program.

Battling the Timberwolves late last night, in what appeared to be a win for the Houston, turned into a nightmare following the Rockets' collapse in the final two minutes, allowing Minnesota to pull off a historic 13-point OT comeback win. With playoffs and the play-in tournament on the horizon, Dan and Cole look back on last night's horrific loss and pose, are the Rockets even considered a playoff team following their recent losses?<br />]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>657</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/7f4ab28c033b3ce95b75f9e91d46796d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Astros Jeremy Peña Back From IL!, Texans New OL Wyatt Teller Speaks, Fran Fraschilla Joins 790 Ahead of Sweet 16 Tip-off!</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/astros-jeremy-pena-back-from-il-texans-new-ol-wyatt-teller-speaks-fran-fraschilla-joins-790-ahead-of-sweet-16-tip-off--70873959</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/70873959</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2026 15:37:53 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70873959/md_full_pod_3_25.mp3" length="149999906" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/21b37fc3-c730-4687-9132-0d3ba6e4b8b0/21b37fc3-c730-4687-9132-0d3ba6e4b8b0.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/21b37fc3-c730-4687-9132-0d3ba6e4b8b0/21b37fc3-c730-4687-9132-0d3ba6e4b8b0.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/21b37fc3-c730-4687-9132-0d3ba6e4b8b0/21b37fc3-c730-4687-9132-0d3ba6e4b8b0.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>SportsTalk 790 (KBME-AM)</itunes:author><itunes:duration>9375</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/7f4ab28c033b3ce95b75f9e91d46796d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Fran Fraschilla Talks Houston Cougars vs. Illinois Sweet 16 Tip-Off</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/fran-fraschilla-talks-houston-cougars-vs-illinois-sweet-16-tip-off--70872524</link><description><![CDATA[As the excitement builds, the buzz surrounding the NCAA's madness tournament intensifies as we now approach the Sweet 16, scheduled to tip off tomorrow and Friday evening.

Focusing on Houston, the Rockets have hosted the Lakers the past two nights here in Houston in back-to-back home games at the Toyota Center, suffering disappointing losses in both. Following Luka's fourth-quarter magic in both games, finishing with 36 the first night and 40 just last night, the Lakers have now strung together 7 consecutive wins, moving them up a spot and knocking Houston down to the fifth seed after Minnesota's win over Utah.
