VIDEO: George Springer Reclaims Lead for Astros With Solo Shot in Top of 10th
By Michael Luciano
Anything Christian Yelich can do, George Springer thinks he can do better. After the 2018 NL MVP sent the game into extra innings with his 43rd home run of the season, Springer quickly reclaimed the lead for Houston, slamming his 30th home run over the wall at Miller Park to give the Astros a 3-2 lead.

You can't fault Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell's decision making, as he put in one of the teams better relief pitchers, Junior Guerra. However, Guerra tossed a meatball right down the middle of the plate, and Springer isn't going to allow a mistake like that to go unpunished.
