Yordan Alvarez delivered again in the clutch, smacking a ninth-inning single to drive in the go-ahead run and lead the Astros to a 3-2 win over the struggling Angels. Alvarez also homered earlier, showcasing his MVP-caliber hitting. Houston’s bullpen was flawless, with four relievers combining for four hitless innings, as Steven Okert earned the win and Josh Hader recorded his 14th save. The Astros’ seven-game win streak continues, while the Angels’ skid hits 17 of their last 22 games, deepening their slide. The rally began with a pinch-hit double from Nick Allen, moved over by Christian Vázquez, and capped by Alvarez’s clutch hit. The game was a seesaw battle with early leads traded. Tomorrow night, the Astros and Angels face off again in the series finale — Houston stays hot in the AL West, while the Angels search for a spark.
