Alvarez Walk-Off HR on 4th of July | Houston Astros News

Yordan Alvarez lit up the Fourth of July with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth, giving the Astros a 10-8 victory over the Rays and cementing his place in history as the only player to hit two walk-off homers on Independence Day. With three hits and six RBIs, Alvarez carried Houston’s offense, including a two-run blast in the first and a crucial sacrifice fly. The win snapped a two-game skid and halted Tampa’s 10-game win streak. Jose Altuve added two hits and three runs, while Yanier Diaz and others contributed. The Astros, now 44-47 overall and 22-24 at home, avoided a slide thanks to Alvarez’s fireworks — a perfect capstone to a memorable Independence Day.
