Astros bats went wild in the first game of the series against the Diamondbacks. The Stros unleashed five homers, and six players had double-digit hits, including Jose Altuve, who had two homers, a double, two RBI, and four runs scored.
Altuve did his thing yet again to open the game for the Astros. He took a 2-0 pitch from D-back starter Zach Davies into the Crawford Boxes, his 27th of the year and 12th leadoff homer. That number ties Altuve with George Springer for the most leadoff homers in a season by an Astro.
The D-backs tied the game on a Geraldo Perdomo solo homer in the third, the only run the Rattlers would get off surprise starter Luis Garcia.
