Astros' Josh Reddick Reveals His Wife Gave Birth to Twins Right Before ALDS in Heartfelt Instagram

If you aren't rooting for the Astros to win the World Series this season, you have to at least be pulling for Josh Reddick. The Houston right fielder revealed on Instagram that his wife Jett gave birth to two baby boys ahead of the Astros' Division Series matchup with Tampa Bay, starting Friday.

Reddick's five-picture post shows both of his newborns, as well as a caption that explains one of the twins, Ryder's, improving condition after some initial trouble breathing.

I’m a dad! Maverick Joshua Reddick- 6 pounds 19 1/4 inches. Ryder Blaze Reddick 5 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches! I can’t believe it! My ❤️ is so full! They now share an Oct 2nd birthday with their big cousin Hunter! Ryder was having some trouble breathing in the real world so he had to go to NICU right after birth and spend the night. He’s doing better today and got his oxygen mask taken off but he still needs to be monitored there for at least another 24 hours. We can’t wait to be officially together as our family of 4!

Reddick is expected to stay in the lineup for Friday's game, and he'll certainly be playing for more than just himself, as he looks to add another title to his collection.

With one of the best pitching rotations in MLB history behind them, the Astros are a huge favorite to win this season's championship. If Houston win two World Series in three seasons, Reddick would be able to give one ring to each of his children.

Josh Reddick was scheduled to attend today's Astros rally at City Hall, but his wife is pregnant with twins and as Jeff Luhnow said "nature calls." https://t.co/GBbiGM0pyM via @houstonchron

Congratulations to the Reddick family, and we're sure the twins will be watching their father go to work on his championship quest.
