Houston's Colby Rasmus goes deep in third straight game

Houston Astros outfielder Colby Rasmus homered for the third time in three postseason games, but it wasn't enough for the Astros to overcome the Kansas City Royals in Game 2 of the ALDS on Friday.

What It Means:

Rasmus got the Astros on the board with an RBI double in the first inning. He then tagged Johnny Cueto for a solo homer in the third inning, increasing the Astros' advantage to 4-1.

The sweet-swinging lefty is extremely locked in at the dish right now, hitting .444 with three homers, five RBI and a stolen base through three postseason contests. Rasmus finished the regular season with a .339 wOBA and a career-best 25 homers.
