Up for bid is a game used baseball thrown for TWO Strike Outs by Bryan Abreu on May 4, 2026 at Daikin Park. Abreu struck out Kyle Tucker and Max Muncy in the Top of the 8th inning for his 2nd and 3rd of 3 Ks in the game! The baseball was thrown for 5 pitches to 2 batters for 2 strike outs. This is a RARE baseball as Christian Vazquez challenged the ball call with the ABS Challenge system and it was overturned, resulting in a strike out. Plus, this was a RARE third out of the inning baseball that was collected!
This baseball includes the RARE Astros City Connect "STROS" Commemorative logo. This is a great, clean example of the logo! This logo will ONLY be used for 8 City Connect, Monday home games in 2026. This was the second time in 2026 this logo was used and only game versus the Dodgers.
In this game, the Dodgers beat the Astros 8 to 3. Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched 6 innings with 8 Ks and only allowing 3 runs to collect his 3rd win of the season. Alex Freeland and Kyle Tucker hit Home Runs for the Dodgers. Shohei Ohtani was 0 for 3 with 1 RBI, 2 Walks, and 2 Runs scored. Zach Cole hit his 1st Home Run of the season for the Astros!
