Luis Valbuena homers in third straight game for Houston

Houston Astros third baseman Luis Valbuena hit a two-run home run in a win over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday.

What It Means:

That makes home runs in three straight for Valbuena, who has gone yard five times in May after being held without a home run in April.

His nERD still sits at -0.25 for the season (good for only 211th in the MLB), and we project him to hit .223/.321/.421 with a .319 wOBA in 367 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
