Tucker drives in 4 runs to lead Astros over Angels 9-6

Kyle Tucker three hits and a career-high four RBIs, and the Houston Astros started a 10-game road trip with a 9-6 victory over the Los Angeles Angels

AUGUST 1, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Drives in four in win Tucker went 3-for-5 with four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 9-6 win over the Angels.

Impact Tucker sparked a four-run rally in the second inning with a two-RBI double, and he came around to score on Jose Altuve's fielder's choice. Tucker scored again on a George Srpinger sacrifice fly in the fourth. In the sixth, the 23-year-old Tucker ripped a two-run single to complete a big showing at the dish. The outfielder raised his batting average to .286, and he now has five RBI and six runs scored in six games. More performances like Friday's could get Tucker into a better spot in the lineup, at least when facing right-handed pitchers.

Scores twice, steals base Tucker went 0-for-3 with a stolen base, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's 8-5 win over the Mariners.

Impact Tucker reached on a Kyle Seager error in the third inning and promptly stole second, his first swipe of the year, before scoring on a Jose Altuve double. Tucker would draw a walk in the fourth and score again on a Dustin Garneau triple. The 23-year-old Tucker will likely see the short end of a timeshare with Michael Brantley in left field and can also serve as the designated hitter at times.

Delivers from nine-hole Maldonado went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-2 win over Seattle.

Impact Maldonado helped pick up the lineup that didn't get much output from its top stars -- George Springer, Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa went a combined 3-for-17. As a career .219, Maldonado is not expected to carry much of the offense on this stacked roster.
