Yordan Alvarez lit up the scoreboard with two doubles and two RBIs, powering the Astros to a 4-0 shutout over the slumping Athletics. After getting obliterated 18-3 the night before, Houston bounced back in emphatic fashion, with Alvarez leading the charge — currently leading the AL in batting average, homers, and RBIs. His doubles in the 5th and 7th extended the lead to 4-0, while Isaac Paredes and Nick Allen added key runs. The Astros’ pitching was stellar too, with Hayden Wesneski tossing five innings of one-hit ball, backed by four relievers who combined for a three-hitter. The A’s, now on their fifth straight loss, managed just three hits and couldn’t get going offensively. With Hunter Brown set to start Saturday against Jacob Lopez, the Astros are riding momentum as they aim to keep pace in the AL West race.
