Pena Powers Astros to Victory | Houston Astros News

Jeremy Pena stole the show with two leadoff homers, including a fifth of the season, helping the Astros jump out to a 2-0 lead and dominate the Royals. Yordan Alvarez added a two-run blast to extend the advantage, while Hunter Brown earned his sixth win with 10 strikeouts. The bullpen shut it down, led by Josh Hader’s 26th perfect save. Michael Wacha fell short despite a solid six innings, and this victory snapped the Astros’ three-game skid. Up next: Cristian Javier on the mound, and Wednesday marks the 21st anniversary of Jeff Bagwell’s legendary game-winner in 2005.
