If the Astros won on Sunday and finished the day with a winning record (27-26) for the first time since September 8, it was mostly thanks to what George Springer did at the plate. The centerfielder got three hits, including two home runs, and a stolen base.
But you gotta go deeper to appreciate how important was Springer’s performance not only to get the W, but in Astros history as well.
In the first, George began the game with a single and then stole his first base in 2020. Later, in the sixth, he put the team on the board with an inside-the-park home run.
