Alvarez Shines as AL Starter | Houston Astros News

Yordan Alvarez is lighting up the All-Star stage as the Astros’ starting DH, batting second behind Mike Trout — a spot he’s owned all season. Leading the AL in homers and RBIs with a top-tier average, this is his fourth All-Star nod and second as a starter, making him one of baseball’s most dominant hitters. Rare for the Astros since 2019, Alvarez gets his shot to face Phillies’ lefty Cristopher Sánchez — the pitcher who got away last year. With a stacked AL lineup and elite company, Alvarez is proving he belongs among baseball’s best, ready to shine on the biggest stage.
