Astros put win streak on line, look to sweep Braves

April 23 - Yordan Alvarez and the Houston Astros will be looking for a three-game sweep when they face the host Atlanta Braves on Sunday.

Saturday's 6-3 Houston win was the second in as many nights in which it came alive at the plate late to overcome a deficit.

Alvarez homered in each of the first two games of the series. Both were two-run shots and put the Astros head. They were his fifth and sixth bombs of the season.

Alvarez's home run on Friday came in the ninth inning to secure a 6-4 comeback win.
