In case you missed it, outfielder George Springer lifted the Houston Astros yesterday by launching a pair of home runs in the 6-3 win over the Colorado Rockies to take game one of this three-game set.
Today, with Vincent Velasquez on the mound, third baseman Luis Valbuena helped chase yet another starting pitcher from the game early on by hitting home run’s No. 15 and 16. Houston began the game by scoring in the first, grabbing the 1-0 lead with southpaw Chris Rusin on the mound.
