The Astros have the momentum.
Especially Kyle Tucker.
Tucker started tonight where he left off yesterday, hitting a first-inning, two-run homer about where his grand slam landed last night.

But it wasn’t all about Tucker tonight. The Astros raked. Especially Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman, who both had three hits, and added three and two RBI, respectively.
In the second inning, the Astros added a run against Orioles starter Jack Flaherty on Altuve’s first single, scoring Jose Abreu, who plowed through Gary Pettis’ stop sign to score.
