ANAHEIM, Calif. — Yordan Alvarez continued his hot streak with three more hits, including a two-run homer, Hunter Brown tossed six shutout innings and the Houston Astros defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6-1 on Saturday night. And when he does, he’s a scary hitter.” After Alex Bregman got aboard on an infield single in the fifth, Alvarez drove a sinker from Tyler Anderson into the elevated stands in right field to give the Astros a 4-0 lead. “The fastball was explosive and he threw some good breaking balls.” Houston took a 2-0 lead in the third as its first four hitters reached base. He tried to get a ball inside on Alvarez and it leaked back over the plate and he got him,” Angels manager Ron Washington said of Anderson.
