Houston wasted no time, jumping out to a five-run lead by the second inning thanks to a two-run single from HOU RF Cam Smith, an RBI knock from OF Jacob Melton, and a two-run double by 2B Jose Altuve. 2B Altuve stayed hot later in the game with a solo homer, while SS Jeremy Peña racked up four hits, and OF Melton added a two-run triple before exiting early with a sore ankle. Astros rookie SP Colton Gordon held things down on the mound, tossing six solid innings with five strikeouts and just two earned runs. On the flip side, MIN SP Chris Paddack had a night to forget, getting tagged for 12 hits and nine runs over four innings. Minnesota’s only offense came from solo shots by MIN 2B Willi Castro, 3B Royce Lewis, and 1B Ty France, but it wasn’t nearly enough to match Houston’s firepower. The win moves the Astros to 39–30 as they tighten their grip on the AL West lead. The Twins, now 36–33, have dropped three of their last four in lopsided fashion and continue to slide in the AL Central standings. The series picks back up Saturday with Hunter Brown (8–3, 1.82 ERA) on the hill for Houston and Joe Ryan (7–2, 2.96 ERA) starting for Minnesota. Houston is now 39-30 and sits in 1st place in the AL West. Seattle is ow 34-34 and sits in 2nd place in the AL West. Braves Mount Much Needed Comeback The Atlanta Braves shook off a slow start and came storming back to beat the Colorado Rockies 12–4 on Friday night at Truist Park. Colorado jumped out to a 4–1 lead by the fourth inning, thanks to a two-run homer from COL 1B Ryan McMahon and RBI hits from Hunter Goodman and McMahon. But that early momentum didn’t last long. Atlanta’s bats came alive in the sixth inning when ATL OF Michael Harris II crushed a game-tying three-run homer—his sixth of the year—snapping reliever Jake Bird’s scoreless streak. An inning later, ATL DH Marcell Ozuna broke the tie with a three-run blast of his own, his first home run in nearly two weeks. DH Ozuna wasn’t done, adding a sac fly in the seventh and another RBI in a five-run eighth inning that blew the game wide open. The Braves took full advantage of three Rockies errors in that frame. ATL OF Ronald Acuña Jr. chipped in with a 3-for-4 night, scoring twice and stealing his first base of the season, while ATL RP Enyel De Los Santos earned the win with a clean inning of relief. Though SP Germán Márquez pitched into the sixth, he didn’t factor into the decision, and ATL SP Bryce Elder also got a no-decision in his...Morehttps://www.pcf.org/homerunchallenge/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hrc_social-share_2024sg_01.jpg1200630
