Be afraid Major League Baseball. Be very afraid.
After the Astros scored 21 runs yesterday, some among us wondered if there would be a scoring drought to follow. Baseball is famous for its superstitions, and if you score a bunch of runs in one game, that means you used up all your runs for other games later.
Not if Alex Bregman had anything to say about it. Hitting cleanup, he started the first inning scoring with a three run homer, his 35th of the season.
Yordan Alvarez really didn’t appreciate this thought either.
