Alvarez’s Historic Inning Powers Astros

Yordan Alvarez turned Friday night into a personal fireworks display, launching a two-run homer and a grand slam in the first inning — the third Astro ever to do it — then finished 3-for-5 with six RBIs to tie for the league lead with 24 homers. The Astros erupted for nine runs early, but the Royals fought back with five in the first and three more in the eighth to make it a one-run game. The Astros answered with a clutch ninth-inning homer from Brice Matthews and a dominant save from Josh Hader, sealing a 10-8 win over the Royals in a wild, high-scoring battle.
