SEATTLE - The Houston Astros have had it difficult to be a consistent team during the first few months of the season. But despite the team struggles, someone who has found a way to remain a threat for opposing pitchers has been Cuban designated hitter Yordan Álvarez.
In his latest outing against the St. Louis Cardinals, Álvarez helped ignite the Astros comeback with a two-run home run in the bottom of the third to put the Astros on the scoreboard. A late rally with four runs scored in the eight saw the Astros take a 7-4 win over the Cardinals.
