Alvarez Helps Astros Beat Padres, 12-5
The Houston Astros topped the San Diego Padres by a score of 12-5. Leading the way was designated hitter Yordan Alvarez. Alvarez was 3-6 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 times and driving in 7 for the Astros. Houston is now 84-67, San Diego 72-80.

Houston used a well-timed hit by Isiah Kiner-Falefa to capture the win. The third baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Astros ahead, 5-4. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"It was great to come out and swing the bats," Kiner-Falefa told the Houston Citizen.
