Yordan Alvarez Makes History Again | Houston Astros News

Yordan Alvarez just rewrote the script for July 4th baseball history — and maybe the entire season — with a walk-off, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to seal a 10-8 Astros win over the Rays, while being named an All-Star mid-game. The crowd chanted MVP, and with a .324 batting average, 29 homers, 67 RBIs, and a monster OPS with two strikes, he’s on pace for a Triple Crown — something not seen in the AL in over a decade. He’s also the only player ever to hit walk-off homers on Independence Day twice, and the Astros have now won nine straight games on July 4th — the longest streak since the White Sox’s 14-game run in the 1930s-40s. Alvarez isn’t just playing baseball — he’s rewriting history, one clutch homer at a time.
