Delivers another ALDS homer Tucker went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI and an additional run Sunday in the Astros' 12-6 loss to the White Sox in Game 3 of the ALDS.

Impact Tucker looked like he might carry Houston to a 3-0 series lead early in Sunday's contest, as he roped a two-run double and two-run home run in consecutive at-bats in the second and third innings, respectively, to stake the Astros to an early 5-1 advantage. Unfortunately for Houston, the White Sox roared back with five runs in the bottom of the third to take the lead, then plated three more in the fourth and eighth to turn the game into a runaway. Through the first three games of the ALDS, Tucker has been one of Houston's most productive hitters with a pair of home runs and seven RBI.
