Double dipping suits Astros rookie Preston Tucker just fine

Left fielder Preston Tucker became the first Astros rookie to have multiple doubles in consecutive games and just the 18th in franchise history to accomplish the feat.

He was 2-for-4 with two doubles and one run, raising his batting average to .333 as the Astros beat the Blue Jays 8-4.

Tucker is the first Astros player to have multiple doubles in consecutive games since Chris Carter had multiple doubles last July 20-22.
