Yordan Alvarez's Historic July Night | Houston Astros News

Yordan Alvarez had a night to remember—selected as an All-Star during the game, then crushed two homers including a walk-off blast in the 9th to seal a 10-8 Astros win over the Rays, driving in six runs while soaking in crowd chants of “MVP.” His season stats are elite: .324 batting average, 29 homers, 67 RBIs, and a .860 OPS with two strikes—clutchness at its finest. Even more historic? He’s now the first player ever to hit walk-off homers on two separate July 4ths, matching his 2022 solo shot that helped the Astros win the World Series. And the Astros? They’ve now won nine straight July 4th games since 2017—the longest streak in MLB since the White Sox’s 14-game run in the 1930s-40s. Alvarez’s career year, holiday heroics, and team’s historic streak make this one of the most electrifying stretches in modern baseball.
