Cam Smith Shines as Astros Dominate Padres | Kalamazoo News

Cam Smith went absolutely bonkers Friday night, crushing two home runs to power the Astros to a 6-3 win over the Padres — his second multi-homer game of the year and his 14th and 15th dingers. The Astros’ hot streak continued with their 13th win in 16 games, fueled by a dominant bullpen that threw four scoreless innings across five relievers. Ronel Blanco started strong, Bryan Abreu earned the win, and Josh Hader locked it down for his 16th save. Meanwhile, Padres ace Robbie Ray’s 12-game win streak ended in a tough outing, while Fernando Tatis Jr. answered with a solo homer. The Padres showed grit with a late rally, but Smith’s heroics and a clutch eighth-inning run sealed the deal — proving the Astros are on fire and closing in on playoff form.
