WALK IT OFF: Jeremy Peña the hero in Houston Astros’ 4-2 win over the Angels

Rookie Jeremy Peña has done it again!

The Houston Astros defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 on Sunday afternooon, with Peña ending things with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 9th inning, sending the Minute Maid Park crowd home happy. It’s the second time this season that Peña has been a walk-off hero for the Astros.

And that was Peña’s second home run of the game. He had a homer in the fourth inning and finished the game 4-5 with 3 RBI.
