It was a great collective adjustment\u201d, he pointed out.\n\nAlthough his numbers in Houston are still lagging (.215 average), S\u00e1nchez continues to work on mechanical modifications to his swing and has received the backing of the coaching staff. &#8220;They tell me that I don&#8217;t have to carry the whole team, that I should seek support from veterans like Altuve, Correa, and Pe\u00f1a,&#8221; he commented.\n\nWith the series tied, the Astros will look to maintain their offensive momentum this Friday in the second game against the Orioles.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BALTIMORE. \u2013 Dominican outfielder Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez emerged from a long 29-0 offensive slump with a memorable performance of five hits in five at-bats, including a run-scoring single, to lead the Houston Astros&#8217; 7-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
