Mauricio Dubon #14 and Alex Bregman #2 celebrate with Jose Abreu #79 of the Houston Astros after all three scored on a home run during the first inning against the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field on June 09, 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio.CLEVELAND — José Abreu routinely walks into the Astros clubhouse hours before first pitch already drenched in sweat.
"I like to be in the cage a lot because you can’t make outs in the cage," Abreu joked before Saturday's game against the Guardians.Abreu had another two-hit game in for his first back-to-back mult-hit games in nearly two months. Even more encouraging was the three-run homer he scorched with a 107 mph exit velocity for just his second home run of the season.Abreu, who has clubbed at least 30 homers in six different seasons, didn't hit, which meant he went 283 plate appearances between dingers, dating back to Sept. 13.
"I’ve been getting encouragement for the last couple of weeks, and it starts with one," Baker said."Everybody wants you to all of a sudden go from cold to hot, but it usually doesn’t happen like that. It usually takes you a couple times longer from the cold streak than it is to go from hot to cold. It didn’t three days to get in this mess, and it usually takes longer to get out. You’ve just got to grind and grind and grind.
