Summary
Andrew Alvarez delivered a gutsy, mixed bag of a start in his longest outing yet, going five and two-thirds innings while holding the Astros’ offense in check—except for five runs and five walks, both career highs. Manager Blake Butera gambled on the rookie to ease bullpen strain, revealing the Nationals’ ongoing struggle to find reliable innings eaters. It’s a learning curve for Alvarez, who flashed promise but also exposed areas needing refinement—watching closely to see if he can turn this into a breakout moment.
