From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
We're in the back half of a 17-race season, and Palou and Kirkwood are the only drivers to take checkered flags.
Is anyone besides Alex Palou or Kyle Kirkwood allowed to win a race? If so, who?
Marcus Ericsson. Of all the drivers in the field sorely in need of a pick-me-up, the fact that Ericsson sits 21st in points just a single top-10 is one of the year's biggest headscratchers. And yet, he heads to a track where he's finished in the top 6 in 4 of his last 5 starts, and where he started and finished 5th a year ago. He's finished on the podium here before (2021, runner-up), and this is a track where Andretti Global has shown speed in years past.
What is something no one sees coming? Amazingly, we finally get our third winner of the year in Colton Herta. He has only done that in two of his last 10 pole starts. It will be his 10th career victory and Andretti Global's fourth of the year, its most since 2018.

Breaking down Will Power's exchange with Alex Palou during IndyCar at Mid-Ohio practice
Will Power's temper isn't quite what it once was, but he still isn't shy about airing complaints — even with the driver dominating the IndyCar Series in recent years. Power approached Alex Palou after Saturday morning's practice at Mid-Ohio, frustrated by what he felt was Palou's tepid pace, preventing him from turning full-speed laps in preparation for qualifying. Advertisement Fox Sports cameras caught their exchange on pit road, bleeping out some of Power's language. After Power walked away, Palou laughed and suggested Power complain to Barry Wanser, Palou's strategist, who was sitting on the timing stand. "He came out a lap later in front of me, staying there, and spent four laps going slow. Backing up, backing up, backing up, which is frustrating," Power told Fox Sports, adding that process repeated itself minutes later. Insider: Buckle up, IndyCar's silly season revolves around wily veteran Will Power. What we're hearing Power said Palou acknowledged the issue. Several drivers complained during practice and qualifying that others didn't allow them enough space to run full out on the 13-turn, 2.26-mile road course. Advertisement "Look, I think if you look at Practice 1 or 2, everybody is complaining about traffic, and we're all angry that we don't get clear laps. But maybe he thought we did something personal to him. For sure that was not the intention," Palou said in his post-qualifying news conference. "I don't know if you saw, but I was always like a second or two seconds in front of him. He was just having to back off. I never tried to defend or anything. "I think he was just a little bit upset, and that's OK. But yeah, I knew that he was coming (down pit road) — I just didn't want to start to get into an argument. Yeah, it happens. It was my first time with him, so it's good." Starting grid: IndyCar Honda 200 at Mid-Ohio qualifying "We're struggling," Power said. "We're trying to get an idea of what our car is doing, and if you keep backing up, losing tire temps, you don't know." Advertisement Palou qualified for pole position and Power 22nd.

Astros bring back veteran reliever Hector Neris
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Houston Astros brought back Hector Neris, signing the 36-year-old right-hander on Saturday. This is the third stint with the Astros for Neris, who was part of Houston's 2022 World Series-winning team. He previously pitched this season for the Los Angeles Angels, going 3-0 with a 5.14 ERA in 21 appearances. He is 46-42 with a 3.44 ERA in 631 major league appearances, all in relief, over 12 seasons. Neris will wear No. 50 again for the Astros and was with the team for Saturday's game at the Los Angeles Dodgers. 'We're excited to have Hector Neris back,' manager Joe Espada said. 'Obviously, we love the human. What we get from him on the mound is that he's always a great competitor. He can give you multiple innings and get big outs for you.' Right-hander Jason Alexander was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land. ___
