The Houston Astros returned to Daikin Park after an abysmal first road trip that placed them at the bottom of the AL West. Yordan Alvarez continues to be on fire at the plate and is the current home run leader across major league baseball. The team honored the first African American MLB player by wearing the number 42 and special hat patch on Jackie Robinson Day. An Astros cowboy hat also made its debut as part of the homer celebration. (Photos by Cody Barclay and Jack Gorman)
