  Alvarez Hits 40 HRs, Astros Lead AL West | Houston Astros News

  Sep 18, 20261 min

  Yordan Alvarez just smashed his 40th home run of the season, etching his name in Astros history as the fifth player ever to hit that many homers in a year—and the first since Alex Bregman in 2019. Teammate Jeremy Pena called him the team’s “horse,” saying Alvarez’s dominance lifts the entire roster. His power isn’t luck—it’s the result of relentless offseason work, and the Astros are banking on him as they close in on the playoffs. With this win, Houston now leads the AL West by one game over the Rangers, putting them in prime position as the postseason looms.

  Astros Overcome Injuries to Lead AL West | Houston Astros News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  The Astros are battling through injuries but still leading the AL West—losing key players like Hunter Brown, Josh Hader, and Jeremy Peña early in the season dealt a major blow, especially with their pitching already thin. Brown’s shoulder strain sidelined him, but he’s back and firing on all cylinders. Cristian Javier, also dealing with shoulder issues and recovering from Tommy John, is showing signs of life after six scoreless innings. Hayden Wesneski, another TJ survivor, has returned strong, while Ronel Blanco’s comeback has been tougher. Steven Okert’s stellar bullpen performance is now paused due to injury, and Yordan Alvarez remains mostly healthy despite a minor ankle issue. Despite all the setbacks, the Astros’ resilience is paying off—and they’re just barely above .500. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

  Imai Struggles, Blubaugh Shines for Astros | Houston Astros News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  Houston Astros’ high-profile Japanese import Tatsuya Imai is struggling in his MLB debut, with a 5.13 ERA and a bullpen move after just 21 games — prompting Bleacher Report to name fellow reliever AJ Blubaugh as their top rookie instead. Blubaugh, just 26, has thrived as a bulk arm with a 3.26 ERA and 91 innings pitched, drawing trade interest before the deadline. Imai still has two years and $36M left on his deal — time to prove he’s more than hype. Meanwhile, MLB buzzes with historic pitching feats and looming blockbuster trades.

  Royals Fall to Astros as Playoff Hope Dies | Houston Astros News

  Sep 18, 20261 min

  The Royals’ playoff hopes are officially kaput after a brutal 6-2 loss to the surging Astros, who continue to dominate their division. Seth Lugo took the hardest hit of the night, surrendering four homers — his most in a single game this season — and exited after five innings. The Astros’ offense, led by Yordan Alvarez’s 40th homer and Taylor Trammell’s late blast, proved too much, while their bullpen, especially Ethan Pecko, shut down Kansas City’s sporadic rallies. Despite a promising first-inning rally that fizzled, and some hard contact from Salvador Perez, the Royals couldn’t break through against Houston’s stingy defense. Carter Jensen added a clutch RBI to extend his streak, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Astros’ firepower. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
