The rookie is still doing wonderful things for his club. Not only did shortstop Jeremy Peña have the first multi-homer game of his career, but he also walk-off the Angels with a moonshot over Mike Trout’s head to defeat and sweep the Halos 4-2 on Sunday afternoon. Peña and starter Framber Valdez were the key men for the Astros’ sixth consecutive win.
Peña, who also set a new career-high for hits with four, went 4-for-5 with three runs batted in and two runs scored. In a game the Astros began down in the score 0-2, Peña began his power showing with an opposite-field long ball against José Suárez for his 10th of the season…
Then, with the game tied at two runs and José Altuve aboard, he did not waste any time against reliever Ryan Tepera and sent the ball 429 feet over the center-field fence to bring 36.
