This would have been a home run in 27 parks, but is a single at Oracle Park. Alvarez's HR drought continues.

Yordan Alvarez does it again, hitting a 2-run homer to give the Astros the lead. That's his 34th.

Yordan Alvarez wallops a 2-run, walk-off homer to lead the Astros to a stunning 10-8 come-from-behind win over the Rays and sent Daikin Park into a frenzy. He went 3-for-4 with two homers and six RBIs. Alvarez has his MVP moment.

Alvarez's 33rd homer goes 419 feet (108.3 mph off the bat). 27th career multihomer game, fifth this year.

Yordan Alvarez hits No. 25. He's on a pace for 50.

At 117.8 mph, this is the second-hardest hit ball of Alvarez's career. He hit one 117.9 mph in his rookie season of 2019.

A 417-foot fly out by Christian Walker that would have been a home run in 25 parks

Amazing catch by Dubón, who ran 130 feet to catch this Urias fly ball before a nasty crash into the wall. Dubón was down for a few minutes before walking off under his own power. Many of his teammates and manager Joe Espada went to check him out.

Want to see Alvarez hit a 418-foot double? Yeah, you do

Hunter Brown says "Wow" at this slick double play turn to end the 5th

This would have been a home run in 27 parks, but is a single at Oracle Park. Alvarez's HR drought continues.

Brent Strom: "It's exciting to come back. I just want people to realize this is not a nostalgia tour for me at all. I'm here to help Josh (Miller) and Ethan (Katz) as much as I can, just a different set of eyes and ears. ... I've had enough time in the spotlight to last a lifetime."

Tatsuya Imai vs. Jose Altuve

Carlos Correa's first homer with the Astros since 2021 traveled 411 feet with a 109.5 mph exit velocity

Most home runs in Astros history: Bagwell 449 Berkman 326 Biggio 291 Altuve 269

Carlos Correa's relay throw to the plate for an out was 91.8 mph

Carlos Correa said he will need a 6-to-8-month recovery following upcoming tendon surgery on his left ankle.

Jose Altuve scored from first base on a bloop single.

Brendan Rodgers was surprised to be non-tendered by the Rockies, but when he saw Jose Altuve was moving to left field, he called his agent, Scott Boras, to see if he could get in the 2B mix in Houston. He drove down from his Florida home this morning.

For all the criticism the Altuve gets as a baserunner, he won the game with this. The Astros beat the Angels, 5-4, in 10 innings.

Taylor Trammell, if you need him. A 405-foot out.

Correa: “I’m not a GM, but I know that only four infielders can play at a time.”

Yordan Alvarez's 19th homer goes 428 feet to straightaway center. He's more than halfway to his career high of 37, and it's May.

Wanna see a triple play?

Taylor Trammell said he had a chip on shoulder against his former team.

Do you want to see Alvarez go 455 feet for his 200th career homer? Yeah, you do.

Cavan Biggio on joining the Astros: "The colors are a little different, but the meaning is still the same. It's definitely a little bit more special wearing it as a player than, say, a bat boy."
