Astros Win in Glorious Fashion
Alex Bregman was a major contributor to the 9-8 Houston 2019 win over Boston 2018. The Astros third baseman was 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 4 runs and drove in 2. Houston 2019 reliever Brad Peacock picked up the win to move to 1-0. Ryan Brasier suffered the loss. Houston 2019, at 6-1, is off to a blistering start.

Jose Altuve clinched the win with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the ninth. In the game, the Houston 2019 second baseman went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2.

"We found a way to get it done," Bregman said.
