Alvarez went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts Sunday in the Astros' 8-5 win over the Angels.
Alvarez will head into the postseason in a bit of a rut, as he failed to record a hit in 11 at-bats during the four-game series with the Angels while striking out seven times. The slump does little to diminish what was a banner rookie campaign for the 22-year-old, who slashed .313/.412/.655 with 53 extra-base hits in only 87 games. Following his June 9 callup, Alvarez's 1.067 OPS matched Alex Bregman for the team lead and trailed only three other hitters in baseball (Ketel Marte, Nelson Cruz and Mike Trout).
