Astros 6, Braves 3: Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker home runs lift Houston to third straight win
ATLANTA, GA - APRIL 22: Framber Valdez #59 of the Houston Astros pitches during the first inning against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park on April 22, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia.For the second straight game, the Astros got a late home run from Yordan Alvarez to overcome an early deficit and topple the Braves, one of the top teams in the National League.
The Braves led 1-0 heading to the sixth inning when the Astros' two biggest hitters, Alvarez and Kyle Tucker, jumped all over Braves' starter Kyle Wright. After Alvarez's homer put the Astros ahead, José Abreu reached on an error and Ticker blasted a ball 410 feet to center field to put the Astros up 4-1.It’s not like anyone expected Yordan Alvarez to have a down year, but a bit of a slow start wouldn’t have been a surprise. Wrong.
