Astros News
Yordan Alvarez continues to be the heartbeat of the Houston Astros, smashing two home runs in last night's thrilling 4-3 victory over the Texas Rangers, solidifying his status as a player to watch. After a rough start to the season at 24-32, Alvarez's electrifying performance has sparked hope, pushing the team to a 5-2 record in their last seven games. With Mike Burrows on the mound, pitching 7 strong innings, the Astros are slowly turning the tide, showcasing a run differential of +12 in that stretch. Despite whispers about potential trades that could involve Alvarez, the team seems committed to keeping its star intact as they battle to climb out of the division cellar. As they eye a series split against the Rangers, the focus is firmly on maintaining this momentum and riding the wave of hot bats.
