Yordan Alvarez Goes Deep as Astros Hit 5 Homers in 13-2 Rout of A’s to Close in on AL West Title
Jeremy Peña went 4 for 6 with two homers and four RBIs as Houston kept pace in the AL West race.
- On Saturday, the Houston Astros moved closer to an American League West division title, defeating the Athletics 13-2 behind five home runs in West Sacramento, California.
- Jeremy Pena drove in four runs with two home runs, while Yordan Alvarez and Isaac Paredes also homered as the Astros compiled 16 hits.
- Pitcher Hayden Wesneski earned the win after limiting the Athletics to two runs over seven innings, while Jack Perkins allowed six runs and three homers in five frames.
- With an 80-81 record, Houston remains tied for first place in the division entering Sunday's finale, holding the tiebreaker over the Texas Rangers despite their sub-.500 record.
- Victory on Sunday would clinch the American League West crown and the No. 3 seed in the American League playoffs for the Astros, or a Texas Rangers loss would secure the division.
