Singleton's 2nd-half turnaround a timely one

Singleton asserted he doesn't think like that, nor does he let that pressure get to him. A game like the one he delivered Wednesday always helps, too.

After becoming the first Astros baserunner of the game on a third-inning walk, Singleton mashed his first home run of the season in the seventh to pad a tenuous 3-1 lead, and he ripped an RBI single up the middle an inning later to up his average to .316 since the All-Star break.

"To be honest, I think it's game speed," Singleton said when asked why his hitting has spiked.
