The Astros and Fernando Tatís Jr. have never faced off. But in case you’ve missed what he’s done throughout this year, the Dominican is leading the Major Leagues in home runs (12), runs batted in (29), scored runs (26), and stolen bases (6). He’s fourth in OPS (1.026).
Houston begins a three-game series against the Padres tonight and you might be wondering how to stop Tatís Jr. at the plate, especially after he smacked seven hits (three dingers) and drove in eight runs in the Padres’ four game series against the Rangers.
Lance McCullers Jr., Brandon Bielak, and Zack Greinke are slated to face the Friars from Friday to Sunday.
