The bats of the Astros woke up last night, but it was too little, too late. Alvarez wasn’t the only batter displaying power last night as Houston collected four homers. They had twelve hits on the night but left nine runners on base. Houston was just playing catch-up ball all night after the Yankees exploded for 0six runs in the fourth inning.
Alvarez continues to show why he belongs up here in the Big Leagues. His 2-for-5 evening puts his team-leading slash line at .343/.439/.829 with an OPS of 1.268. In the nine games Alvarez has appeared in, he’s amassed 12 hits, 9 runs, and 11 RBIs.
