The Astros drop to 9-9 and continue their mediocre start to the 2026 season.

Francisco Lindor, who is tied for 4th in the NL in hits with 23, chipped in a 2-run home run for New York in the top of the second. For the game, the shortstop had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 3 runs scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Alvarez.
