ANAHEIM -- The Astros don't have to reach far back in their memory bank to remember the last time a top prospect struggled in his Major League debut. Alex Bregman went 1-for-32 upon reaching the Majors in 2016 before turning into a World Series hero in '17 and Most Valuable Player in this year's All-Star Game with a 10th-inning homer.
Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker, who was taken No. 5 overall in the 2015 MLB Draft (three picks after Bregman), was off to a 4-for-31 start in his Major League career entering Saturday's game. Tucker made his debut July 7 and at 21 years old is the youngest active player in the American League.
