Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker each hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning to power the Houston Astros to a 6-3 win over the host Atlanta Braves on Saturday.
Alvarez delivered a go-ahead home run for the second time in as many nights, as his sixth round-tripper of the season ignited a four-run sixth.
With his homer, Alvarez extended his streak of consecutive games reaching base to 23. He reached again in the ninth on Ozzie Albies' fielding error. After Vaughn Grissom's error allowed Jose Abreu to reach first base safely, Tucker's sixth home run of the season pushed Houston's lead to 4-1. Wright's night ended after giving up a single to Jeremy Pena two pitches later.Houston added an insurance run in the eighth when Pena scored on Corey Julks' single to left.
