In splitting its season-opening series with the White Sox, Houston stole six bases and...
Chicago White Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi leaps over center fielder Luis Robert Jr. after Robert caught a deep fly ball hit by Houston Astros right fielder Kyle Tucker during the ninth inning of a Major League Baseball game on Sunday, April 2, 2023, in Houston.
Despite trailing 6-1 entering the ninth, the Astros showed themselves capable of engineering a rally without long balls, getting the tying run to the plate without anyone swinging for the fences. César Salazar, making his MLB debut as a pinch hitter leading off the inning, started things off with a walk, and Peña followed suit. Alex Bregman struck out, extending his oh-fer to start the season to 16 at-bats, before Tucker delivered the oh-what-might-have-been moment.
"It feels pretty good out there," said McCormick, who has reached base in six of his nine plate appearances for far."I would like to steal a couple more, obviously. I've gotta be more aggressive on the basepaths, especially when I'm taking my walks." "I talked to him about it," Baker said."Just want him to be himself, not necessarily have to make changes because you're batting leadoff. Take walks when they walk you, maybe bunt some, and just continue to hit.
