José Abreu hit a pair of home runs, including a three-run shot as part of a four-run first inning, to help the Houston Astros defeat the Minnesota Twins 9-1 in Game 3 and take a 2-1 series lead in their best-of-five ALDS.
“This was one of the reasons why I signed with this organization, to be in the best situation and compete,” Abreu said postgame, according to The Associated Press.
Yordan Alvarez continued his postseason dominance with three hits on Tuesday, including his fourth home run of the series.
