HOUSTON -- Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins couldnt quit smiling Sunday after the Houston Texans 34-24 exhibition victory over the Arizona Cardinals.Hes beginning to see just how good this offense can be now that new quarterback Brock Osweiler is settling into his role.The mindset that we have when we go out there is that we cant be stopped and today kind of showed that, Hopkins said.Osweiler threw for 146 yards and a touchdown and Houston intercepted two of Carson Palmers passes to help the Texans improve to 3-0 in the preseason. The Cardinals are 0-3.Osweiler led the Texans to scores on three of his four drives. He connected with Fuller on a 26-yard touchdown pass that extended Houstons lead to 24-10 before sitting down with about three minutes left in the first half.It was Osweilers second successful outing after he and Houstons starting offense struggled in the teams first preseason game.Were constantly improving, were fixing mistakes and were getting better each week, Osweiler said. Thats really what you want to see at this point in time.While Osweiler was solid, Houstons starting defense starred. Andre Hal intercepted Palmers second pass of the day to set up Houstons first score, a 1-yard touchdown run by new running back Lamar Miller.Palmers second drive was his only clean one, and it ended with a 3-yard touchdown run by David Johnson.On Arizonas next possession, linebacker John Simon tipped a pass by Palmer, intercepted it and returned it 59 yards for a touchdown. It was the second straight game in which Palmer had an interception returned for a touchdown after Brandon Flowers did it in last week in a 9-3 loss at San Diego.Its easy to evaluate that game: its just called turnovers, Arizona coach Bruce Arians said.Palmer attempted to tackle Simon after the interception and was tackled by 305-pound defensive end Devon Still, a hit that knocked the quarterbacks helmet off. Arians had seen enough after that hit, and Palmer was replaced by Drew Stanton.Palmer chipped a tooth on the play.Im fine, he said. It (just) looked bad.Fuller finished with 67 yards receiving and fellow rookie Braxton Miller, the former Ohio State star quarterback, added three receptions for 29 yards. The Texans chose Fuller in the first round this year to take pressure off Hopkins, who was third in the NFL with 1,521 yards receiving last season despite facing near constant double teams.He had two receptions for 31 yards Sunday.INJURY UPDATECardinals: CB Mike Jenkins, who had recently returned after having surgery to repair a broken bone in his right hand, was carted off the field after injuring his right knee in the first quarter. He was injured when he was juked by Hopkins and immediately crumpled to the ground. He appeared to be in a lot of pain as he was helped to the cart, and slammed his right hand on the cart in disgust before he was taken to the locker room. Arians didnt have an update on Jenkins after the game.All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu, who came off the physically unable to perform list last week after knee surgery, was expected to play on Sunday, but remained on the sideline in a T-shirt and shorts.Ive been making great strides in my rehab, my recovery ... but I just didnt feel like I was ready to go out there and play the game, he said.Texans: K Nick Novak returned after sitting out most of the week after getting a concussion against the Saints last week. He made a 44-yard field goal in the first quarter and added one from 42 yards in the fourth.CLOWNEY STANDING OUTOutside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney had three tackles and put pressure on Palmer and Stanton often on Sunday, leading Houstons defense with Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt still out after back surgery. The performance comes a week after Clowney sacked Drew Brees for a 14-yard loss in a win over the Saints. The top overall pick in the 2014 draft is looking for a breakout year after failing to produce in his first two injury-plagued seasons.I just want to stay on the field all season, he said. Thats it.POSITION BATTLESCardinals: Jenkins had been among three players the mix to start at cornerback opposite star Patrick Peterson. If his injury is as severe as it appears, Arians will now have just Brandon Williams and Justin Bethel as candidates for the job.Texans: C Greg Mancz started at center on Sunday in the position left open when rookie second-round pick Nick Martin had season-ending ankle surgery this week. But he struggled with some protections on Sunday, leaving open the possibility that offseason free agent acquisition Tony Bergstrom could get another shot at the job.QUOTABLECardinals: Palmer on if his chipped tooth will make him look tougher: Im not looking for street cred right now.Texans: Simon in response to teammates saying he looked slow on his interception return: I was able to get into the end zone without getting caught, so thats whats important.ROOKIE WATCHCardinals: Undrafted free-agent Chris Hubert had a 43-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.Texans: Fourth-round pick Tyler Ervin looks to have solidified his position as the teams kick returner after returning one for 58 yards on Sunday.

Given that he also hit a timely home run off Matt Cain in Milwaukees 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants, Gomez became unpopular in a hurry with the 41,426 in the sellout crowd at AT&T Park. So, he tried to make amends — by blowing a kiss. "The best I can do is give you a little kiss," he recalled saying, "and they were like screaming." Gomez homered and Wily Peralta outdueled Cain to end a three-start winless stretch for the Brewers. Gomez hit his 18th homer in the second as the Brewers jumped on Cain (7-7) early. Jonathan Lucroy added a ninth-inning sacrifice fly. Aside from the slippery bat, Gomez didnt seem affected by a switch in his equipment. "Its a little cold and they dont have the pine tar I like, the pine tar that I have a good grip with," he said. "And I used a maple bat. I dont use a lot of maple bats. I always use ash. Ash has better grip. But I feel like my ash bat is a little heavy and I swing a light bat today. Always slipping. I was scared. Those fans started getting crazy." Cain was handed his first loss since the All-Star break. The right-hander had been 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in the second half, and certainly would have left with a win in this one if the Giants had made good on even one of their missed opportunities. Brandon Crawford doubled to start the eighth but the Giants failed to bring him home for what would have been the tying run. Peralta (8-11) struck out six of nine batters during an early sequence and finished with six Ks in 6 1-3 innings for his first career victory against the Giants. "I needed an outing like that. I was struggling the last two," Peralta said. "Ive been more comfortable because Ive been working in the bullpen and Ive been throwing (off-speed pitches) for a strike when I need to." Cain allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings, struck out six and didnt walk a batter for the fifth time this year — but it wasnt enough with little help from a stagnant offence. The struggling defending World Series champions are 2 for 22 (.090) with runners in scoring position in the ffirst two games of the series.dddddddddddd Pinch-hitter Joaquin Arias drove in a run on a groundout in the seventh as San Francisco avoided being shut out. "Its hard to explain when you go through something like this," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Watching tonight, we had trouble catching up with the fastball. Its been a recent trend. The bats look a little slow." Arias fielding error in the ninth led to Milwaukee scoring an unearned run on Lucroys sac fly. The Giants had gone four games without an error, but still have 80 for the second-most in the NL behind the Brewers. In the fourth, Norichika Aoki doubled leading off the inning and advanced on Jean Seguras groundout. With Aoki well off third, catcher Buster Posey threw to try to get him. But the throw sailed wildly into shallow left field past third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who wasnt close despite lunging to his left and Aoki scored. Peralta had lost his previous two starts and was winless in three outings since back-to-back victories July 9 and 14. He received a no-decision in his only other matchup with San Francisco, a 10-8 Brewers win April 16 at Miller Park. Jim Henderson pitched the ninth for his 16th save in 19 chances. "Wily certainly is a guy wed love to have in the rotation," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Henderson at the back end, wherever we decided, whether its closing or eighth, we think hes really going to be a valuable guy to have." Not to mention the guy they get back Wednesday night. Right-hander Marco Estrada returns to the mound for the Brewers for his first start since June 3 after spending time on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain. Posey, last seasons NL MVP and batting champion, was hit by a pitch from Peralta above his left elbow with two out in the sixth, and Posey grimaced in pain as he slowly walked to first. "Its frustrating. All of us take a lot of pride to be in those situations and come through," Posey said of the missed chances. NOTES: Peralta singled to start the sixth for his seventh career hit and sixth this year. ... Gomez is batting .444 (8 for 18) with two home runs and three RBIs against the Giants. But he had been hitless in his last 18 at-bats coming into Tuesdays game.
