Astros mash five homers on way to 13-6 victory over Angels
While Thursday night marked the official beginning of Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena's Major League Baseball career, Friday night will likely be the one he remembers for the better, as the 24-year-old collected his first three hits and a home run in the 13-6 rout of the Los Angeles Angels.
That homer also began an onslaught of runs from Houston in the seventh inning, who scored eight runs on the back of eight hits, two of which were long balls. But they wouldn't score again until the eighth inning, leaving the vast majority of the offensive production to the Astros who tallied 14 hits over the course of the matchup.
The Angels climbed back a little in the bottom of the seventh, scoring three runs to make it 12-5, thanks largely to an RBI double off the bat of Jose Rojas and an RBI single from Tyler Wade.
