Astros' Alex Bregman: Goes deep in victory
Rotowire
Bregman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk against Oakland in Wednesday's 6-2 win.
Bregman followed Yordan Alvarez's three-run shot in the third inning with a solo blast of his own to give Houston a 4-0 lead. The homer was the first of September for the third baseman, and though he's hit well with a .298 batting average over 47 at-bats on the month, he's knocked in a modest four runs through 12 contests. Bregman nonetheless surpassed last season's total with his 94th RBI on Wednesday, and he needs six more down the stretch to finish with 100-plus RBI for the third time in his career.

Astros' Alex Bregman: Draws four walks, hits grand slam
Rotowire
Bregman went 1-for-1 with a grand slam and four walks in Saturday's 9-6 win against the Angels.
Los Angeles pitchers didn't give Bregman much of a chance to swing the bat as 16 of the 17 pitches thrown to him on his four walks were out of the strike zone, but he maximized his production on the one ball he put into play, blasting a grand slam to left field in the fourth inning.

The third baseman is swinging a hot bat, compiling a 10-game hitting streak during which he is batting .417 (15-for-36) with two homers, 13 RBI and a 6:4 BB:K.
