Jake Meyers. That is the summary of tonight’s game.
Well, not really, as it takes more than one player usually to win a game. But in this case, Meyers played a dang large role in determining the final result. First, he had his first career home run — a 396-foot solo shot — in the third inning to cut the Angels early lead in half to 2-1.
That dinger jump-started the Astros lineup, who would eventually claim a 3-2 lead when the half-inning concluded, thanks to a sacrifice fly by Carlos Correa and Yordan Alvarez’s RBI double.
