Evan Gattis hits walk-off homer to carry Astros

Houston Astros catcher/designated hitter Evan Gattis slugged a walk-off solo homer in Friday’s 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

Gattis went back to back with Carlos Correa in the bottom of the ninth to get the win for the Astros. Houston's catcher had a fine game in the end, going 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI's, as Friday marked his second homer in as many games.

Gattis is slashing a respectable .244/.308/.477 on the year with a .332 wOBA over 380 appearances at the plate. He now has 21 homers this season to go along with 53 RBI's.
