Alex Bregman homered twice and had a season-high four RBIs to lead the Houston Astros to a 9-2 win over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.
Bregman homered off Oakland starter Ross Stripling in the fourth inning, reminiscent of the homer he hit off Stripling in the 2018 All-Star Game. Bregman homered again in the seventh off Mitch Spence. Bregman entered Monday with just one homer in 144 at-bats this season but caught fire and had his sixth career multihomer game.'That's what you're doing when you're not swinging it good is to find a way to swing it good,' Bregman said.
'I felt like I threw the ball well, but everything they hit found a hole, and nothing went my way,' Stripling said. 'They've got a really good lineup. We're all aware of the Astros' record, but it doesn't seem to be because of their offense. I maybe poked the bear with Bregman a little bit and hope I didn't get him going.'Altuve added an RBI single in the seventh to put Houston up 5-2.
