The Houston Astros defeated the Atlanta Braves, 5-4, at Minute Maid Park. Yordan Alvarez, who finished 4th in the AL in wins above replacement with 6.0 in 2022, was a standout performer for Houston. His 2 hits included 1 single and 1 double -- this in addition to the 1 run he scored and 2 he knocked in. Houston goes to 10-9.

Alvarez contributed in the bottom of the first. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a run-scoring double. It was one at-bat among others that helped Houston get the win.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Alvarez told the Houston Chronicle.
