Alvarez Hits 30th HR, 200th Career | Houston Astros News

Yordan Alvarez is crushing it for the Astros, hitting his 30th homer of the season — and his 200th career blast — to become the first AL player to reach that mark this year. At just 27, he’s in his prime, already on pace for 51 homers, a personal best, and currently second in the league behind Kyle Schwarber. His breakout season follows a brutal 2025 plagued by injuries, and he’s now hitting 30+ homers in five of his eight MLB seasons. But while Alvarez lights up the scoreboard, the Astros continue to struggle, falling to 3-7 against the Rangers and sitting below .500 — a season of stark contrasts.
