George Springer sends two soaring as Astros defeat Yankees

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer launched two solo rockets in the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the New York Yankees, carrying his club to a 10-7 victory.

What It Means:

Springer led the contest off with a shot over the wall in center and then matched his efforts with a second inning wallop over right-center. He finished the night 2-for-4 while being walked once and scoring three times.

For the season, Springer is slashing .261/.340/.507 with nine home runs and 22 RBI's in 151 plate appearances.
