Alvarez Shines as Astros Dominate Royals
Description
The Astros crushed the Royals 10-8 in Game 1, fueled by Yordan Alvarez’s historic night — two homers including a grand slam and six RBIs — as the offense exploded for nine runs in the first inning. Alvarez leads the majors in OBP+SLG and total bases, tied for the home run lead with 24, and earned AL Player of the Week honors. Christian Walker added a homer, and the bullpen held strong. This is their first series against the Royals this season, and they’ve historically dominated them. The Astros also lead MLB in fielding percentage and fewest errors. Tonight, Mike Burrows (newly acquired in a three-team trade) starts, while the bullpen’s 2.59 ERA since mid-May is best in the AL. The Astros are 16-20 on the road this season, and Alvarez and Walker are on the All-Star ballot.
