Isaac Paredes carries his grandmother’s love into every at-bat, honoring Gloria Eduviges — the woman who raised him and took him to his first practice — even as he grieves her April passing. Still on bereavement leave, he’s navigating life without her, especially poignant on Mother’s Day. Before each game, he prays for her blessing, fulfilling a promise by bringing her to see him play in MLB. Though she never saw him in an Astros uniform, she witnessed his rise to stardom, cheering him on with pep talks that fueled his two All-Star seasons and current hot streak with the first-place Astros.
