Watson was running 30 minutes behind schedule

Watson was running 30 minutes behind schedule because of a travel delay, which is par for the course in his post-Masters life. Once he made himself comfortable at the podium, he spoke like someone who could use a few more hours in the day or at least a few more hours of sleep.

In the 16 days since winning his first major, Watson said, he has had little time for reflection. He completed the talk-show gauntlet in New York, played in Tim Tebow's charity event in Florida and bonded with his two-month-old son, Caleb, whom he and his wife Angie adopted last month.

"We've had him for a month, and I've only got to see him eight or nine days, so it's not enough, not a lot," Watson said. He sounded rueful. He said he cried when it was time to leave his son and wife in Orlando, Fla., to fly to New Orleans.

Mills said he had talked to Weiland

Houston manager Brad Mills knows the third inning was the game's turning point.

"It seemed like you could really nail it down to one inning and that was the third inning," Mills said. "They scored three runs with two outs and nobody on and we had runners on first and third and nobody out and couldn't score. That was kind of tough."

Mills said he had talked to Weiland (0-1) before the game about keeping the ball down and getting strikes. The manager said that there were several times when the ball was down but out of the zone.

"That caused his pitch count to go up and caused him to get behind in the count with some guys," Mills said. "That enabled them to get some better swings on balls as the count got deeper."
