Notes
Houston opened the series with a bang Friday night, riding Cam Smith’s two-homer performance and a dominant bullpen effort to a 6-3 victory. Now the Astros look to keep the momentum going as Yordan Alvarez tries to widen the gap between himself and the four players tied with 33 home runs who are chasing him atop the American League leaderboard.
