Alvarez’s return to the lineup wakes Astros bats up in victory over the Mariners
I have a friend that I have known for over 20-plus years of my life that I just refuse to lose any competitive events to. No matter if it’s video games, cards, board games, kick ball, etc. I am not losing. It must feel that way every time the Houston Astros (9-10) face the Seattle Mariners (7-14). The Astros used a strong first inning offensive outburst to defeat the Mariners 11-1 on Friday night at Minute Maid Park.

Astros get a big pop back in their lineup with the return of 2019 A.L. ROY Yordan Alvarez
Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker finally caught a huge break on Friday. With his team currently under .500 at 8-10, a record some could attribute to the rash of injuries they have suffered through in the first part of a shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Baker is getting a big bat back in the Astros lineup that will add more firepower to an already explosive offense.

Let It Be Known
Greinke calls out pitches from the mound in Astros victory
Babe Ruth’s called homerun in the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs is by far one of the greatest sports debates of all time. Many have agreed that Ruth repeatedly pointed to the outfield to indicate that he was going to hit a homerun. Others have debunked the theory by saying that he was pointing towards the pitcher or the bullpen that had been talking trash to him all game.
