The Astros' sluggers like MVP candidate Yordan Alvarez capitalized on Rocker's mistakes all night.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Yordan Alvarez had another moonshot for his AL-leading 31st home run, LaMonte Wade Jr. hit his first career grand slam and the Houston Astros beat the Texas Rangers 9-3 on Saturday night.

Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown recently suggested that one of the organization's top pitching prospects may get called up to the majors soon.

ESPN linked the Houston Astros to a pair of outfielders, Jake McCarthy and Daulton Varsho, ahead of the trade deadline on August 3.

Verlander’s most dominant — and perhaps legacy-defining — years occurred in Houston, a second home he always held in high regard.

The Houston Astros turn to Spencer Arrighetti on the road, where his walk rate spikes, as the Washington Nationals counter with their 9-2 starter.

Wade Jr. hit the first grand slam of his career and Lambert backed it with six solid innings as Houston evened the intrastate rivalry series.

At the very least, the Texas Rangers ensured on Friday that the Houston Astros wouldn't bypass them in the American League West standings prior to the All-Star Game break.
