Kyle Tucker got to Friday night’s game hitting for a poor .091 batting average through his last six contests (2-for-22), with no extra-base hits and just one run batted in. However, the Astros right-fielder woke up with his bat against the Mariners to help the Astros beat them 6-4.
Tucker went 3-for-4, getting three hits for the first time this season. His offensive parade featured a single, his fourth double, and his seventh homer of the season. The latter was a ninth-inning, two-run shot to give the Astros a 6-4 lead and get them closer to the victory.
