## Resource

Yordan Alvarez is making history as the lone Houston Astros representative at the All-Star Game, earning the coveted DH spot through fan vote dominance. This season, he’s crushing it with a .319 average, .625 slugging percentage, 27 homers, and 61 RBIs — on pace to become the first Astros player and first AL hitter in over a decade to win a Triple Crown. He even tied a franchise record with three grand slams in June. While teammates missed out due to injuries and trades, Alvarez’s return to the All-Star stage — after missing last year with injury — proves he’s the Astros’ brightest star right now.
