Alvarez’s Power Ends Marlins Streak | Miami Heat News

Yordan Alvarez just keeps crushing homers—his 34th of the season was a two-run blast that broke a tie and sealed a 5-2 Astros win over the Marlins, completing a three-game sweep. It was his third homer of the series and his league-leading 34th, coming with runners on after Jeremy Pena’s single. Sandy Alcantara, who’d pitched well through seven innings, gave up five runs—including Alvarez’s blast and Pena’s earlier homer—and took the loss. The Astros bullpen, led by Bryan Abreu’s perfect ninth, locked it down. Starter Peter Lambert had a shaky first inning but settled in for six innings, allowing two runs. Houston now owns the series, while Miami’s skid hits nine. Alvarez’s power surge continues to dominate. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
