Yordan Alvarez scored two of Houston's seven home runs, and the blustering Astros beat Oakland 10-1 on Sunday to complete another series sweep and hand the Athletics their 11th straight loss. In the first, Alvarez homered opener Ken Waldichuk, followed by another solo explosion off Garrett Acton in the ninth, right after Jeremy Pea went deep. This week was Alvarez' second multi-homer game and the 15th of his career. Jose Altuve had three hits, including his first home run of the season, after losing Houston's first 43 games due to a fractured right thumb. In the fourth, Jake Meyers had a go-ahead three-run blast. The Astros won for the 14th time in 17 games thanks to Chas McCormick and José Abdo's solo shots.

With a dramatic 3-2 victory on opening day, the Chicago White Sox spoiled the Houston Astros' World Series championship defense. Despite scoring the first run of the game in the seventh inning, Houston failed at the plate after mustering up only four hits in the game. In the ninth game, Chicago rallied to take the lead after three runs between the games' final two innings.
