Very high is the production of runs for the Houston Astros on Monday’s day in the Major Leagues, and in it José Altuve has an important role.
In the second inning there were 6 lines made by the siderales, all against Yusei Kikuchi, the starter of the Mariners, who for that section was out of control and paid the consequences of giving passports to the first three batters he faced.
With bases loaded, Carlos Correa scored on a selection play after Aledmys Díaz’s grounder and Abraham Toro’s error also allowed Yuli Gurriel to be beaten; then Jake Meyers thundered home runs through left field that added 3 more, while Astroboy and Yordan Álvarez placed the icing on the cake, both with doublets that added one more.
After Seattle discounted 2, the Astros retaliated with 2 more in the fifth following a single by Gurriel, an RBI double by Kyle Tucker who scored on a hit by Meyers.
To complete the high-run circle, Houston added another 3 in the sixth. Here Correa started with biangular, advanced to the anteroom after Gurriel’s uncatchable and the two scored with another double from Tucker, this would end up stepping on the plate with a single by Alex Bregman to establish the final 11×2.
Lance McCullers Jr. (114, 3.19), meanwhile, opened and won for the sidereal. He made 93 pitches in 6 innings of 4 hits, 2 lines that were clean, gave 4 walks and guillotined 7. For his part, Kikuchi was exploited with 6 runs, four deserved, 3 hits and 4 walks in just 1.2 innings.
For the nauts, the Venezuelan-Canadian Abraham Toro went 3-2 (.269), with a ticket in addition to towing 2 of his own; Luis Torrens only played defense as third baseman. His average is .223.
For the Astros, José Altuve went 4-2 to go up to .273 as he hit a pair of doubles for a total of 24 this year. He pushed one, wrote down another, and pulled out two passports. Marwin González struck out on his only pinch-hitting turn and on his return to this organization, although he started a top-flight double play in Chapter 8. He is hitting .202.
It seems like a productive inning. Ð ?? ¤ ?? #PorLaH pic.twitter.com/eXdNAaTkuT
