“Still confused,” Taylor Trammell of the Houston Astros said a day later.

Taylor Trammell had no doubts about his home run Tuesday after a night of confusion in Houston. A night earlier, he had rounded the bases on a fly out before realizing Myles Straw had made the catch. On Tuesday, Trammell turned a first-pitch curveball from Chad Dallas into a three-run shot. The ball landed 10 rows up the right-field seats at Daikin Park and gave the Astros a 7-2 win over the Blue Jays. Trammell said he knew he had hit Monday's ball well, but he was unsure whether it had left the park.That fly out had a 110.4 miles per hour exit velocity, a 32-degree launch angle, and traveled 418 feet. Tuesday's homer left his bat at 113.3 miles per hour, the hardest-hit ball he has put into play in the majors. It was Trammell's fifth homer of the season and his third in nine games as Houston kept using him in left field. Manager Joe Espada said Trammell is seeing the ball well, walking, and hitting with authority. Trammell said he found Shane Bieber before Tuesday's game and made sure he knew he was not trying to show him up. He also said the jokes from the whole team lasted into Tuesday and became another meme. After his real home run, Trammell told Tony Perezchica, "Hey, we got it right this time," as the Astros beat Toronto 7-2.

Taylor Trammell hit a three-run homer, Jose Altuve had three hits and two RBIs, and the Houston Astros beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-2 on Tuesday night. Altuve hit an RBI single that went off the glove of Blue Jays third baseman Kazuma Okamoto and stayed in play to score Yordan Alvarez in the fifth inning, then added another hit in the seventh to center field. Trammell's homer came in the fifth inning, a 388-foot shot over the wall in right for his sixth of the year that made it 6-2.

He didn't realize it until he passed home plate.

The Houston Astros made some roster moves as they set their lineup for Saturday's game with the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Houston Astros weren't the only team hitting back-to-back-to-back home runs on Tuesday night.
