Houston Astros DFS SPIN
Jeremy Peña slugged a two-run homer and scored a pair of runs as the Astros outlasted the Dodgers in 11 innings on Sunday night. Peña got the Astros on the board in this one with his 418-foot (103.8 mph EV) two-run blast off of Tony Gonsolin in the second inning. That would be his only hit in five at-bats on the night, but he also scored a run as the extra runner to begin the 10th inning on an error made by Jason Heyward. On the season, the 25-year-old shortstop is now slashing .248/.306/.408 with nine homers, 29 RBI and eight stolen bases in his sophomore campaign.
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
