Yordan Álvarez is literally carrying with the Astros lineup. On Wednesday afternoon, the young stud delivered another clutch hit –this time with bases loaded— to cap a four-run ninth inning and complete a great comeback win 5-4 to sweep the Athletics in the three-game series.
Álvarez came to home plate with bases loaded and the Astros down in the score 3-2. After a bases-loaded RBI single that got the Astros the win on Sunday against the Mariners, there was a feeling in the environment for Álvarez’s at-bat on Wednesday. And he came clutch again!
Yordan hit a bases-clearing, go-ahead double off lefty Sam Selman to make it 5-3 in the top of the ninth inning.
