Astros Surge with Alvarez Leading | Houston Astros News

Houston Astros roar back into action against the Marlins, with rookie Tatsuya Imai making his first start since the All-Star break and showing early promise. Manager Joe Espada is one win away from tying for 10th all-time in franchise history, while the Astros lead the AL in first-inning runs. Yordan Alvarez is on an MVP tear, pacing the league in batting average, homers, and RBIs—and on track to break the franchise’s single-season home run record. Jose Altuve is climbing the all-time second baseman home run ladder. Defense is elite, led by Christian Walker’s 100+ errorless games at first, and the Astros are dominating challenges. The bullpen, anchored by Josh Hader’s dominant saves and microscopic ERA, is locking things down. This team is firing on all cylinders.
