A 3-RBI performance from Yordan Alvarez, who leads the AL in total bases with 316, helped the Houston Astros beat the Cincinnati Reds, 9-8. Houston reliever Paul Sewald was the winner. His record is now 5-2. Felix Bautista took the loss. The Astros lead the American League West Division by 16 games.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Alvarez delivered big-time for Houston, stroking a dramatic solo home run off Felix Bautista. The game-changing hit put the Astros on top, 9-8.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Alvarez. "You've got to get results."
