It was the only hit of the game for Walker, but if you’re only going to get one hit, you might as well make it a homer. Walker has gone deep four times in his first year with the Astros, but is still slashing an ugly .192/.273/.354 over the first 27 games of the campaign. Those numbers will improve, but there’s no denying the first sixth of the season has been a disappointing one for the veteran first baseman.

Altuve hit second behind Jeremy Peña again — with Peña going 2-for-4 and scoring a pair of runs in the contest — and it went well for the 34-year-old. He socked a two-run blast off Jack Flaherty that gave the Astros a 4-3 lead in the sixth, and he picked up his third RBI of the day with a fielder’s choice in the seventh. Altuve is now hitting .282/.316/.409 on the season, and while that’s a far cry from his best campaigns, it’s also far from unuseable as well.

Blanco allowed only three hits, but two of those hits were homers. The right-hander was able to strike out six against two walks while locating 52-of-84 pitches for strikes. Blanco has not worked deeper than five innings in any of his outings this year, but he’s avoided the disastrous start. He walked two while striking out four and seeing his ERA rise to a still healthy 3.34. Flaherty will try and keep the ball in the park next week against the Angles in Los Angeles.

With the scored tied 0-0, Soderstrom laced a two-run double off Patrick Corbin to give the A’s the lead and ultimately the victory. The 23-year-old first baseman has been exceptional over the first month of the season with 24 RBI over 29 games and an OPS of .940.

Kurtz takes a seat with lefty Patrick Corbin on the mound for Monday’s series opener at Globe Life Field. The 22-year-old top prospect is hitting .250 (4-for-16) with three RBI through five games since being promoted last week to the big leagues. Some initial turbulence isn’t unexpected as Kurtz acclimates to life in the majors less than a calendar year after being selected fourth overall in the draft. It’ll be Tyler Soderstrom at the cold corner on Monday night in his place.

It’s a well-deserved breather for the 37-year-old first baseman who is hitting .369/.421/.476 with only one homer, 10 RBI and one stolen base through his first 27 games with the Bombers. Ben Rice will draw the start at first base and will bat second against Blue Jays’ right-hander Chris Bassitt on Sunday evening.
