Tucker quickly taking over 3rd spot in lineup

His multihit game Saturday was his second in a row and sixth of the season, and he has 19 hits, which is the most for an Astros player's first 18 career games since Jose Altuve (23) and Jimmy Paredes (20) in 2011.

"Tuck continues to contribute," manager A.J. Hinch said of the lefty-swinging prospect. "He's hung in there against lefties, which again for a young player, to get his first taste of Major League left-handed pitching, his pitch selection was good and at-bats are good. He's in the at-bat the whole way.
