The Astros took Game One of Tuesday’s doubleheader, 6-2. The main firepower came from home runs by George Springer and Jose Altuve, and two RBI by Robinson Chirinos. Springer’s home run was yet another dinger to lead off a game. Altuve’s came in the third inning.
This one by George went 467 feet, his 26th.
This one was by Jose, his 21st.
Zack Greinke pitched his second game as an Astro, and although he only allowed two runs in six innings, he found himself pitching out of trouble much of the game. He allowed seven hits and two walks, but struck out six.
