The Houston Astros have been on a winning streak, led by standout performances from Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve. Alvarez went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, and two RBIs to lead the Astros to their second win of the series against the Los Angeles Angels. The Astros won the game 6-1, with Hunter Brown pitching six scoreless innings. Alvarez's high-velocity hits, including a homer and two doubles, helped the Astros inch closer to second place in the AL West. The team has won four of their last five games, improving their record to 30-35, just one-half game behind the second-place Texas Rangers. Additionally, Jose Altuve extended the Astros' lead with his 10th homer of the year, contributing to a four-run inning with two outs. This puts Justin Verlander in line for his 261st career win if the bullpen can hold the lead. Alvarez has been exceptional, slashing .369/.446/.646 with 10 runs scored over his last 17 games, and Bregman is on a hot streak with five homers and eight RBIs in eight games.
