Kingston High graduate and Hurley native Zack Short snapped out of an 0-for-11 hitless streak with a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 11th inning to give the Houston Astros’ a 5-4 come-from-behind victory over the Texas Rangers Saturday night at Daikin Park in Houston.

It took Short 10 games to notch his first long ball with the Astros, tagging Nathan Eovaldi for a solo shot in the sixth inning. The round tripper was Short's first in the big leagues since 2023, as he went homerless in 88 plate appearances with three different teams during 2024. He's slashing .286/.348/.524 since being called up July 2.
