The Astros rally for a huge 6-3 extra-inning win over the Giants to move to 61-59 and maintain their half-game lead over the Rangers in the AL West. Jeremy Peña ends his slump with the go-ahead hit, Cam Smith continues his breakout stretch, and Isaac Paredes delivers the insurance.
Plus, Hayden Wesneski continues to make his case as a rotation solution, Josh Hader throws two innings, Yordan Alvarez crushes a 118.5 MPH single, and the Astros claim outfielder Nelson Velázquez off waivers. What does the move mean for Houston’s outfield as the Astros begin a stretch of 12 straight games against teams with losing records?
