Yordan Alvarez Homers in First, Astros Shut Out Guardians
Yordan Alvarez hit his major league-leading 11th homer, and Peter Lambert allowed three hits in his second start of 2026.
- On Wednesday, the Houston Astros defeated the Cleveland Guardians 2-0, fueled by Yordan Alvarez's major league-leading 11th home run and six shutout innings from Peter Lambert.
- Houston entered the series with a 1-9 road record, yet Alvarez continued his historic pace, joining Lance Berkman as the only Astros player to hit 11 homers in the first 26 games.
- Alvarez went 3-for-4, extending his hitting streak to nine games and on-base streak to 18. "I just want to find a good pitch," Alvarez said, noting his aggressive approach at every at-bat.
- The victory helped Houston take two of three games in the series as reliever Enyel De Los Santos secured his third save, completing a combined five-hitter against the Guardians.
