Astros have to get more out of Jeremy Peña if they want to hold off the Mariners

In the 2022 postseason, Jeremy Peña made an enemy out of everyone in the Pacific Northwest when he slugged a go-ahead home run against the Mariners in Seattle’s first playoff game in 21 years. He’s going to need to provide more of those signature moments this year if the Houston Astros want to try to hold off the Mariners in the race to take the American League West crown.

While Peña put together a great start to the season for the Astros, he hasn’t looked the same since he returned from a fractured rib at the beginning of the month.
