Veteran Jose Altuve hit two home runs, going a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate while setting the tone at the top of the lineup. Yordan Alvarez, who started as the designated hitter, launched a home run and drove in two runs, continuing to anchor the middle of the order. Rookie Brice Matthews also went deep, adding to Houston’s power surge, and Carlos Correa made a key defensive play in the infield.
