Ben Gamel powers Astros to tight 3-2 victory

by Chris Schommer | Astros Correspondent | Sat, Aug 31st 7:40am EDT

Ben Gamel went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Astros' narrow 3-2 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact:

His solo shot contributed crucially to the team's victory. Despite a limited number of games this season, Gamel's performance has been notably efficient, boasting a .302 batting average and a .365 wOBA that underscores his ability to contribute positively when in the lineup. His power display, though infrequent with just his first homer of the season, along with a solid BABIP of .429, suggests potential for more impactful hits if he maintains this level of play. Fantasy managers should consider Gamel a viable option in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice against favorable matchups, given his current form and the sporadic power he's capable of delivering.
