“It felt really good, honestly. … I was not treated the right way over there. … But with Dusty (Baker) here now, I’m in heaven,” Dubón said after going 3-for-5 with 2 RBI an…
Dubón singled in his first at-bat and stole second base, which put him in position to score the Astros’ first run when Yordan Alvarez smoked a 104.4-mph ground ball past Estrada at short. He drove in the tying run in the fifth, lining a Ross Stripling two-seamer down the right field line. He then pushed across the go-ahead run in the seventh, before scoring again, as part of a five-run inning that put the game out of reach.
“I threw him a really good slider in the first that he just hit into center field for a single and almost beat us himself, right?” Stripling said, echoing Pederson. “He scored the first run then knocked in the next two. Obviously he’s probably very motivated against his former team as we all are when we play our former teams. But he’s locked in. I threw him a two-seam in in his last at-bat and same thing, he kind of just flares it into center field.
“It felt really good, honestly,” he said. “I knew I was going to have a big moment in the game. … I was not treated the right way over there. So coming here and being a family here and being able to perform the way I’m performing right now … with Dusty here now, I’m in heaven.”
