Astros: Zack Greinke’s debut saved by offensive prowess

On a night when all eyes were on the Astros newly acquired Zack Greinke, everybody watching his much-anticipated debut, it was players like Yuli Gurriel and Yordan Alvarez that came out the heroes.

The Astros jumped out to an early two-run lead in the second inning when Alvarez followed up Alex Bregman‘s double with his 14th home run of the season. Michael Brantley added to the lead in the third with a run-scoring single knocking in Jose Altuve. Greinke has a three-run lead and everything is going as planned, right?
