What’s up with Mauricio Dubon? That’s what the Giants are asking after letting him go to the Astros last year for a minor league catcher.
Here in Houston the question is: When will Mauricio Dubon regress? Although his 20-game hitting streak recently ended, the answer is, not tonight. Dubon was a one-man Giant-killer tonight, scoring two runs and hitting in two more. He’s currently hitting .317 after hovering near the Mendoza line all last year.
The Astros notched the scoreboard in the first inning when Dubon scored on a Jose Abreu single. Dubon led off with a single and stole second to get into scoring position for Abreu.
