MLB Opening Day 2016: Astros Carlos Correa hits first home run of the season

Shortstop Carlos Correa did it all for the Houston Astros on Opening Day. He helped drive in three runs for the Astros in their 5-3 win over the New York Yankees.

The biggest at-bat for Correa came in the sixth inning. The Astros 21-year-old shortstop faced the Yankees' ace Masahiro Tanaka with a 1-0 count. Tanaka threw a 90-mph sinker down and away that caught just enough of the plate for Correa.

Correa flicked his wristed and deposited the pitch over the right field wall -- tieing the game at 2-2.

Here are some more fun facts about Correa's home run:
