Episode Details

Yordan Alvarez obliterated the Royals with two homers, including a grand slam, and six RBIs in one inning—setting franchise records and blowing the game wide open. But the Astros’ shaky start came courtesy of pitcher Tatsuya Imai, who lasted just two outs and surrendered five earned runs before exiting. The bullpen stepped up heroically to hold the Royals at bay, securing a 10-8 win—but at a cost: six relievers were used, straining the rotation ahead of Saturday’s critical start. Alvarez’s power saved the day, but Imai’s early exit proved that even a massive lead needs every player to hold the line.
