Jake Meyers

Meyers put Houston ahead for good with an opposite-field drive into the right-field seats at T-Mobile Park off Mariners reliever Ryne Stanek in the seventh inning. It was his 11th big fly of the season and lone hit in four at-bats in the low-scoring showdown. He's batting just .214 (6-for-28) over his last seven contests, but half of those hits have wound up leaving the yard.

Meyers' long ball was the extent of the Astros' offense until a mini-rally in the ninth inning off of Kirby Yates. That shot was his tenth which tied his career-best mark set last season in 25 fewer games. Newfound power along with always excellent defense has turned Meyers into a mainstay in Houston's lineup.
