Yordan Alvarez homered in the first inning and drove in a run during a four-run seventh as the Houston Astros rallied past the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Thursday.
Alvarez made it 1-0 with a 439-foot drive to right against Chris Flexen for his 15th homer, and his single in the seventh tied the game at 3-all. The two-time All-Star finished with three hits after missing the previous two games for a family matter.He arrived at the ballpark a little over two hours before the first pitch, just enough time to take 10 swings in the batting cage. Alvarez had no trouble locking in when he stepped to the plate, fouling off a fastball before connecting on a cutter.
The Astros took a 4-3 lead when third baseman Lenyn Sosa threw low to first after fielding a chopper by pinch-hitter Cooper Hummel with two out, allowing Bregman to score.Justin Anderson came in for Chicago and walked Jake Meyers and Jeremy Peña to force in another run, making it 5-3."A big part of what we talk about is we don’t let small innings turn into big innings like we did in the seventh," White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said.
