Houston Astros Win with Yordan Alvarez Back in Lineup

The Houston Astros beat the Detroit Tigers 5-7 on June 28, with Yordan Alvarez back in the lineup.

What happened?

Alvarez was given a day off on Saturday, but returned to the lineup on Sunday.

He enters the game with a slash of .314/.427/.619 with 25 home runs and 56 RBI.

Why it matters for Houston Astros

The Astros are using Alvarez as a primary designated hitter to keep him fit and ready.

This strategy has paid off, with Alvarez playing in 83 games so far.

What comes next?

The Astros face the Tigers again, with right-hander Jack Flaherty starting for Detroit.

Flaherty is 1-8 with a 5.35 ERA this season, and the Astros will look to capitalize on this.

The Astros called up right-handed pitcher Miguel Ullola and optioned right-handed pitcher Kai-Wei Teng for a fresh arm.

Ullola may make his MLB debut in the game against the Tigers.

The Astros are currently 7th in the American League with a 42-44 record, and are on a W2 streak.

Alvarez's return to the lineup is a boost to the team's chances of winning.

The game will be broadcast in Houston on Space City Home Network, and fans can listen to the radio feed on KBME 790 AM/94.5 FM HD-2 and KLTN-TUDN 102.9 FM.

The Astros will look to extend their win streak with Alvarez back in the lineup.
