Kyle Tucker has just been playing on another level during most of the second half of the season, and Wednesday wasn’t the exception. He led the Astros’ comeback to defeat the Rays 5-2 and complete a three-game sweep, thanks to a late, go-ahead two-run home run, his 29th four-bagger of the campaign. That homer came against former teammate Brooks Raley, just the second he’s allowed throughout 2022.
The Astros, whose record is now 99-51, got to the eighth inning losing 2-1, but that changed really quick. Jeremy Peña hit his 19th double to kick off the inning and, after one out, Aledmys Díaz recorded a game-tying singled to drive in Peña with the tying run.
