Texans Use Late Score to Top Browns, 3-2
The home team gave the crowd some walk-off drama.

The Houston Texans took Cleveland pitcher Ben Horne's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Reliant Stadium. The final score had Houston getting past the Browns, 3-2. Horne went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 8. Jeff Rappe notched the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record now sits at 1-0.

Houston got a knockout punch from Alex Guzman. The right fielder hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"We're obviously playing with a lot of confidence," said Houston manager Brett Main.

Early on, the Texans, at 10-2, have played an impressive brand of baseball.
