Correa blasts off bench to lift Astros in 13th

ANAHEIM -- Carlos Correa's pinch-hit, three-run blast cemented him as a hero Sunday afternoon as the Astros knocked off the Angels, 8-6, in 13 innings.

The win clinched a series victory for Houston, and the club's fifth win in its last six games.

Correa, batting in place of left fielder Tony Kemp, took a 69-mph changeup from Angels reliever Mike Morin and deposited it a Statcast-projected 391 feet away from home plate into the Astros' bullpen in left field, breaking a 5-5 stalemate that lasted since the top of the eighth inning.
