VIDEO: Tyler White Destroys First Home Run of the Year Onto Train Tracks at Minute Maid Park
By Sean Facey
The Astros don't seem too bothered by the Red Sox snapping their 10-game winning streak on Sunday. If anything, it galvanized one of their few underachievers, designated hitter Tyler White, to slug a mammoth home run against the Chicago White Sox for his first of the year.

The blast landed on the famous train tracks at Minute Maid Park to give Houston a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised this ball didn't go into orbit.
