Three Yordan Alvarez homers and a Spencer Arrighetti no-hitter through seven innings sent the Astros back home to Houston from Philadelphia on a jubilant note, crushing the Phillies 10-0
The game did not start perfectly. Not quite. Jose Altuve did not lead off this game with one of his signature leadoff homers.
But he did score the first run—by stealing home!
He led off with a double with a shot against Taijuan Walker off the left field wall . Close, but no cigar. Oh well, he got to third, and on a pickoff play to first took off for home and beat Bryce Harper’s throw.
