It’s feast or famine with the Astros offensively.
Tonight, it was feast. Yordan Alvarez finally broke out, like we knew he would, going 4-5 with a single, a double, two homers, and three RBI. Jose Altuve and Jeremy Pena added homers, and Kyle Tucker, Yainer Diaz, and Chas Mccormick added multiple hits to the Astros total of 15.
At first, it looked like the Astros were up to their old trick of stranding runners in scoring position. Although the Astros scored first on Yordan Alvarez’s first homer of the season, they missed several opportunities early to put away Jays start Chris Bassitt.
