Beltran went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Beltran was making his debut for the Astros, who signed him to a one-year deal in the offseason to bring added offense to the lineup. He served as Houston's designated hitter Tuesday and batted fifth, protecting cleanup hitter Carlos Correa. The 39-year-old's bat is still a threat, and he'll be a middle-of the-order presence for Houston in 2017.
