From Yankee Stadium to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the Houston Astros are heading to the White House to celebrate their 2022 title, and for some players, this will be their second time in the presence of a president.
Houston got another pitcher back on Sunday in José Urquidy, who was on the mound for the Astros for the first time since April 30.
He got into some jams, giving up five runs. But centerfielder Jake Meyers came in clutch, driving in a career-high six runs and lifting the Astros to a 9-7 win over the Yankees to split the four game series. The Astros are still trying to top the AL West standings, which the Texas Rangers have held tight in their grip. After the weekend series in New York, the Astros sit 2.5 games back from first place.This won't be the first White House invitation for Astros manager Dusty Baker.
