Two homers in Game 1 Tucker went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a solo home run and a walk during Friday's 6-5 loss to the Phillies in Game 1 of the World Series.

Impact Tucker had a perfect start to Game 1 with two homers in his first two at bats, but the Astros were ultimately unable to hold a five-run lead. The 25-year old accounted for four of the five runs on the night for Houston, achieving a multi-homer game for the first time since May 17 against the Red Sox. Tucker came into the World Series batting just .214 with one RBI across 28 at-bats in the postseason. He is slated to face Zack Wheeler in Game 2, a pitcher he has not faced in his career.
