<\/p>\n\n\nMiami<\/strong>.\u2013 The attention of the Houston Astros after the Trade Deadline focused on the return of Puerto Rican Carlos Correa<\/strong>, but it was another newcomer who stole the spotlight this Monday: the Dominican Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>.\n\n\n

He responded to the affection with a decisive performance against his former team and against the Dominican ace Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara<\/strong>, whom he knew very well.\n\n\u201cHe\u2019s grateful to be here<\/strong>,\u201d manager Joe Espada<\/strong> stated. \u201cHe wants to be part of this winning culture, and it shows. He asks questions, gets involved, and contributes<\/strong>.\u201d\n\n\n

S\u00e1nchez even took the word during the hitters’ meeting before the game, sharing key information about Alc\u00e1ntara, who was coming in with 12 innings without allowing runs. That information seems to have paid off: the Astros exploded offensively in the fourth inning, sending nine batters to the plate.<\/p>\n\n\nIn that episode, Yainer D\u00edaz<\/strong> contributed a two-run double, Correa<\/strong> added a run-scoring single, and S\u00e1nchez hit his aforementioned run-producing double<\/strong>, to put the score at 5-0 early in the game.\n\nDespite the defeat, Alc\u00e1ntara had affectionate words for his former teammate:\n\n\n

\n

“It’s nice to see him on the field again, but sad to see him on the other team. I wish him the best. May he stay healthy and keep doing what he’s doing,” commented the pitcher.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nS\u00e1nchez, who played six seasons with the Marlins, has quickly fit into the Astros’ clubhouse.\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt’s very easy to feel at home here<\/strong>,\u201d he assured. \u201cThere are many Hispanic players, and we understand each other very well<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nWith the arrival of Mexican Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas<\/strong>, in addition to the return of Jeremy Pe\u00f1a<\/strong> (who batted 2-for-4 with a walk), the Astros have gained offensive depth at a key moment in the season.\n\nThe opener Jason Alexander<\/strong> was another standout of the game, pitching six scoreless innings with six strikeouts<\/strong>, solidifying Houston’s victory.\n\nThe Astros, who were coming off a frustrating series in Boston, showed signs of recovery and better chemistry with their new pieces, and aim to stay strong in the fight for the playoffs.\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhen everyone is healthy, it’s going to be fun to watch us play<\/strong>\u201d, Espada anticipated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
