Alex Bregman went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and three runs scored in a 6-2 win over the Angels on Thursday.

Bregman walked and scored a run in the first inning, walked again and scored again in the third and then took his fate into his own hands in the sixth with a rocket to left field off Angels starter Matt Harvey for a solo homer. The homer was the 25th of the year for the 25-year-old, who's got 61 RBI and 70 runs scored while hitting .271/.403/.541 in 95 games. All of those marks rank among the league leaders in the American League, who is on a trajectory to receive some MVP votes after finishing fifth in the voting last year.

Alex Bregman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and also drew an intentional walk in the Astros’ win over the Rangers in extra innings on Saturday.

Bregman clobbered a game-tying solo homer to left-center field off Rangers starter Mike Minor in the fifth inning. He also singled in the third inning to record his 20th multi-hit effort in 90 games this season and was intentionally walked in the 11th inning. The 25-year-old shortstop isn’t stealing bases anymore, but it’s a minor concern for fantasy owners since he’s been an on-base machine, posting a jaw-dropping .269/.398/.542 triple-slash line with 62 runs scored, 24 home runs, 57 RBI and four steals in 402 plate appearances. He appears to be just fine, missing only one game, after suffering a chin laceration earlier this week.

Bregman sat out of Friday's game after suffering a laceration on his chin when he was struck in the face by a grounder on Thursday night, but he's good to go now. The 25-year-old two-time All-Star will play shortstop and bat third against Rangers left-hander Mike Minor.

Bregman was removed from Thursday night's second-half opener versus Texas after suffering a laceration on his chin that required four stitches. He is still being evaluated for a possible concussion. There should be an update on the star infielder's status sometime Friday night.
