After scoring 27 runs in the previous two games, the Astros overcame a hitting slump tonight to eke out a meager 12-3 win over the Texas Rangers.
Jose Altuve started the disappointing offensive performance, leading off with a strike out, which put him in the middle of an abysmal 0-3 slump with no homers. However, a great lineup picks up the slackers, and in the next at bat Jeremy Pena doubled off Rangers starter Max Scherzer, followed by a Yordan Alvarez dinger that travelled a mere 424 feet.
Business as usual.
