Alvarez Shines as Astros Dominate Athletics | MLB News

Yordan Alvarez went absolutely bonkers Friday night, crushing two doubles to drive in two runs and lead the Astros to a 4-0 shutout over the slumping Athletics. After getting crushed the night before, Houston bounced back with a dominant performance — Alvarez’s heroics included putting the Astros up 2-0 in the fifth and extending the lead to 4-0 in the seventh. Pitcher Hayden Wesneski was stellar, allowing just one hit through five innings, while the bullpen locked it down. The A’s managed only three hits all game, their first coming in the third — and they didn’t get another until the sixth. With Alvarez leading the AL in batting average, homers, and RBIs, the Astros are on fire. Tonight’s series finale features Hunter Brown vs. Jacob Lopez — can Houston keep this momentum rolling?
