HOUSTON — Carlos Correa didn't sleep at all on Thursday night while fighting a cold and struggled in a loss to the Rangers on Friday night.
A day and a few hours of sleep later, Houston's star rookie felt — and performed — much better.
Correa and Jose Altuve hit two homers apiece as the Astros connected a season-high six times in a 9-7 win over the Rangers on Saturday, cutting Texas' lead in the AL West to 3 1/2 games.
"Obviously I didn't feel good and I struck out three times," Correa said of Friday's performance.
