Astros take Rubber Match from Arlington, 6-4
The Astros scored more than two runs and had more than ten hits for the second game in a row. And they won both games. Is this a coincidence? Could this be a trend?
Meanwhile, starting pitcher, Yusei Kikuchi, in his second successful start as an Astro, continues to make GM Dana Brown look good, allowing only two runs in 5.1 innings, and was the winning pitcher for the first time as an Astro, a game which secured the coveted Texas Silver Boot for the eighth straight year.
Yordan Alvarez hit his 22nd home run , a 117 MPH shot to center, the second hardest hit ball in Astros Statcast history (he has the rest #s 1-8) It was his second homer in two days.
