Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez, who spoke up in a team meeting after the Braves swept the Astros on Sunday, blasted his 41st homer of the season and drove in three runs — giving him 102 for the season — to lead the Astros to a 7-0 win over the Mariners on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park. The Astros (78-79) snapped a three-game losing streak and move...
JR Ritchie was really the only positive thing in this fairly meaningless game Sep 23, 2026, 2:05 AM UTC Was this a hangover game?

Though he didn’t alter his pitch mix and attack sequence in the way I was hoping to see, he still...
