Astros pitching smothered the O’s to take yesterdays game and their fifth straight series win (Houston Chronicle)
And here are the series takeaways from this past weekend’s games against Baltimore (Texas Sports Nation)
But let’s talk about Yordan Álavarez, starting with this homer in his second career MLB at bat (MLB Video)
He did it at DH in his first game, but he’ll be playing the field from time to time as well (The Athletic, $$$)
If Álavarez can replicate his success from the minors, will the trade for him go down as a bigger steal than the Bagwell one?
