6 years agoHouston Astros outfielder George Springer hit his team-leading ninth home run of the season Tuesday night as the Astros trounced the Twins 11-0. Springer now has seven doubles and nine home runs on the season and is slugging an impressive .614 over his last 15 games played. Springer is perhaps the most dangerous leadoff hitter in the game and is off to a strong start this season. The Astros will continue their series in Minnesota on Wednesday, and Springer is a must-start right now on the road. Through 63 at-bats away from Minute Maid Park, the 29-year-old slugger is slashing .302/.408/.683.--Joey C - RotoBaller
