Astros' Yordan Alvarez shines with homer despite ALDS Game 2 loss

The Houston Astros suffered a 6-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins in Game 2 of the AL Division Series, evening the series at one game apiece. Astros' pitcher Framber Valdez struggled in his first playoff start since last year's World Series, while Twins' pitcher Pablo López threw seven scoreless innings. The Astros will now head to Minnesota for Games 3 and 4, needing a win to secure another game at home. The team will rely on Cristian Javier in Game 3 and potentially rookies J.P. France or Hunter Brown or veteran José Urquidy in Game 4. The Astros' starting pitching depth is not as strong as last year, but they remain confident in their ability to perform on the road.
