Albuja Pounds 2 Homers in 9-3 Aquas Win
Edgar Albuja left his imprint on the 9-3 Houston win against the Alaska Kodiaks. Albuja, who is tied for 2nd in the WC with a 1.024 OPS, was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. Houston now sits at 40-20, while Alaska falls to 28-33.

David Kuthakwakulu hit a run-scoring triple off Savino Dore in the top of the first, which put the Aquas in front, 1-0. In addition to the triple, Kuthakwakulu had 1 single and 1 walk, while going 2 for 4.

"I think it speaks for itself, I think we came out and we played our kind of baseball," said Albuja.
