Astros designated hitter Tyler White hammered a walk-off solo home run to lift Houston to a 5-4 win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
White connected with an 0-2 offering from A's reliever Jeurys Familia and drove it a projected 332 feet, according to Statcast. The tracking tool gave White's hit just a 1% hit probability. Prior to his connection, similarly batted balls had resulted in home runs 0% of the time.
The go-ahead homer extended the Astros to a 2 1/2 game lead over the A's in the American League West division. Houston won Wednesday's rubber match to take two of three in the clubs's latest meeting.
