Alvarez Alone: Astros Star Heads to All-Star Game Solo
5 Jul
Summary
- Yordan Alvarez is the sole Houston Astros player selected for the All-Star Game.
- Alvarez is having a Triple Crown-caliber season with 27 home runs and 61 RBI.
- He was an elected starter for the game, unlike some teammates who missed out.
Yordan Alvarez has been selected as the sole representative for the Houston Astros at the upcoming All-Star Game on July 14 in Philadelphia. Alvarez earned a starting position as the designated hitter through fan voting, advancing past former teammate George Springer.
Alvarez is currently in contention for a Triple Crown, boasting a .319 batting average with 27 home runs and 61 RBIs this season. His performance in June included three grand slams, tying a franchise record.
In contrast to previous years where multiple Astros players attended, Alvarez will be the only one heading to the game. He was elected as a starter, a distinction not achieved by any other Astros player in the initial voting phase. This selection marks a significant achievement for Alvarez, especially after missing last year's game due to injury.
