Alvarez went 3-for-5 with an RBI triple and two runs scored during the Astros' 9-7 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.
It was Alvarez's 14th game of at least three hits, and his third knock was an RBI triple to put the Astros up 7-6 in the eighth inning. The 29-year-old slugger is considered by many the favorite to win the American League MVP award, as he leads the AL in all parts of the slash line (.323/.438/.618) as well as home runs (36) and RBI (91) while ranking second in both hits and runs scored.
