Springer smashes 2 of Astros' 5 homers

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Astros right fielder George Springer accounted for two of the five home runs the Astros hit before Houston needed a three-run eighth to claim a 12-9 win over the Braves on Monday night at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex.

The Braves tied the score when Hector Olivera and Jeff Francoeur notched doubles off Wandy Rodriguez during a three-run seventh inning, but the Astros reclaimed the lead when Colin Moran capped his four-RBI performance by highlighting the three-run eighth with a two-run double off Jose Ramirez.
