Story summary
On Tuesday night, Yordan Alvarez led the Houston Astros to a 7-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners, ending their three-game skid and tying them with the Texas Rangers at 78-79 in the American League West standings. The win came as Alvarez hit his 41st home run of the season, putting him first in batting average (.314) and second in RBIs (102), pushing for a Triple Crown. Both Houston and Texas have five games left to play, with Houston holding the head-to-head tiebreaker advantage over the Rangers.
