Alvarez, Astros Beat Reds, 12-6
In the 12-6 Houston win over Cincinnati, the impact of Yordan Alvarez was substantial. Alvarez, who finished 4th in the AL in slugging percentage with .563 last year, went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. The winning pitcher was Justin Verlander. His record now stands at 5-10. The right-hander went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits for the Astros. Houston now has a record of 91-49 with the win.

With Houston trailing 4-3 in the top of the fifth, Alvarez hit a fastball from Trevor Rogers for a 2-run home run. It was his 42nd home run of the season and put the Astros ahead, 5-4.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Alvarez told the Houston Daily.
