Prime shocker: Colorado upsets No. 17 TCU 45-42 in Deion Sanders' debut as Buffs coach

After nine months of hype, Deion Sanders had Colorado ready for prime time in his much-anticipated debut as Buffaloes coach. Shedeur Sanders, the coach’s son, threw for 510 yards with four touchdowns — the game-winner a 46-yard catch-and-run by freshman Dylan Edwards with 4:25 left —- and the Buffs pulled off an opening shocker with a 45-42 win Saturday over 17th-ranked TCU, last year’s national runner-up. Deion Sanders came to Boulder, Colorado, to revitalize a long-dormant program, with an unprecedented roster flip. Two-way star Travis Hunter, Edwards and Shedeur Sanders are among 87 newcomers at

Dubón and Altuve go back-to-back twice, Astros hit 5 homers in 13-6 win over Rangers

When Mauricio Dubón saw he was batting ninth for the Houston Astros in the opener of their pivotal series against the Texas Rangers, he had a message for leadoff hitter Jose Altuve. “I told him we were going to go back-to-back,” Dubón said. Altuve gave him a high-five, and then they went out and did just that — twice. Dubón and Altuve hit consecutive home runs in the sixth and ninth innings as the Astros beat the struggling Texas Rangers 13-6 on Monday.

They also matched a major league record with at least five homers in three consecutive games.
