Michael Brantley

Michael Brantley's ability to grind out hits in key spots once again surfaced as the veteran was responsible for multiple clutch RBI singles. The first of Brantley's important at-bats came in the third inning, tacking on a run to extend the team's lead to 2-0. After the Washington Nationals closed the gap to 2-1, Brantley came up with another huge RBI single to give the Astros some breathing room in an eventual 4-1 win.
