The worst-case scenario for Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez in the field happened last week when he collided with shortstop Jeremy Pena while both tracked a popup in the eighth inning against the New York Mets.

Alvarez defensive gem dashes Royals comeback
When the chronicle of Astros 2022 first half dominance is written, most of the credit must be ascribed to pitching excellence. But in the last two games the Astros have been winning in a more familiar manner...crushing the ball.
Tonight the Astros accumulated 13 hits, including two doubles and four homers. Every starter except the catcher had at least one hit, with Alex Bregman and Aledmys Diaz leading the way...
Jeremy Pena and Alex Bregman homered in the fifth inning and Aledmys Diaz and Yordan Alvarez added insurance blasts as the Houston Astros slugged their way to their eighth consecutive victory, a 9-7 triumph over the visiting Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

The Astros are hoping to extend their winning streak to eight tonight behind Luis Garcia. It should be fun trying to figure out where, how fast, and from which direction Zack Greinke will be throwing.
Here are the lineups.

Yordan Alvarez clubbed a walk-off home run with two outs in the ninth inning as the Houston Astros capped a five-run rally by defeating the visiting Kansas City Royals 7-6 on Monday.

Astros come back from abysmal Odorizzi start to take their seventh straight.
Baseball should change its scoring rules to count Yordan Alvarez as a runner in scoring position whenever he comes to bat. With the score tied 6-6 in the bottom of the ninth, with no one on base and two outs, every Astros fan knew that the winning run was already on the bases when Yordan came to bat.
He did not disappoint. On a 3-1 count he took Royals closer Scott Barlow 444 feet to...
Jake Odorizzi last pitched on May 16, when he suffered tendon and ligament damage while running to cover first base on a fielding play.
The Houston Astros reinstated right-hander Jake Odorizzi (leg injury) from the 15-day injured list on Monday. Odorizzi is set to make his first start since May 16 on Monday afternoon against the Kansas City Royals.
Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports
Jake Odorizzi is back on the mound. Can he be as excellent as any one of the other starters already in the rotation. He has a hard act to follow.

The AL West-leading Astros will likely have multiple All-Star representatives at Dodger Stadium later this month. Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez are potential starters at their respective positions based on fan voting, with various teammates possibly joining them in reserve roles. Both Justin Verlander and Framber Valdez will likely make the AL roster on the pitching side of things. As a reminder, the fans vote for the starting positions players while...

Erik Williams-USA TODAY Sports
What Bregman has done for the Astros since June and his expected stats suggest he can be back from his offensive lethargy.
At one point, Alex Bregman was everything you can ask for. Between 2018 and 2019, A-Breg went twice to the All-Star Game, finished in the top 5 of the AL MVP voting in both years, and won a Silver Slugger award. In numbers, he hit 88 doubles and 72 home runs, drove in 215 runs, and had more walks (215) than strikeouts (168) over 313...

Let freedom from bad baseball ring!
The 4th of July is a holiday long steeped in tradition in our country. That tradition can range from solemn to raucous depending on each family and individual, but what it represents is the reflection on the ideals that bind us as a country. And throughout the last century and more, the sounds of baseball have provided a soundtrack to that celebration.
There’s something different about listening to a game while...
