Astros shortstop Carlos Correa came through in the clutch once again. The 20-year-old rookie went 2 for 4 on Thursday, including a go-ahead two-run home run in the eventual 5-4 extra-innings win over the A's. 

Correa's home run--his 14th in just 51 games this season--came in the eighth inning with his club trailing 2-1. The two-run blast gave the Astros a 3-2 lead and instantly changed the landscape of the game. 

Correa is batting .300 (12 for 40) with six home runs over his past 10 games. 

Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is certainly making his case for American League Rookie of the Year this season. On Monday, Correa hit his 13th home run of the season, a two-run shot in the first inning. The early lead wouldn't hold however, as the Astros lost 12-9 to the Rangers.

The home run was Correa's fifth in his past seven games, and he is batting .345 with seven RBI over that stretch.

The youngster is particularly hot right now, batting an absurd .565 with two home runs and nine RBI over his last 10 games.
